🏏New Zealand vs India, 3rd ODI-- Hagley Oval, Christchurch-P.37 🏏 - Page 28

Shikhar Dhawan | India Captain: Not in our control, you just have to wait. We were waiting to get the game started, can’t help it. Now looking forward to the 3rd game. I was quite surprised with the surface, I thought it would be seaming quite a bit, but it wasn’t as much as the last match. It was good to bat on and to see Shubman perform this way was very encouraging. We wanted the sixth bowler to come in, so Sanju Samson missed out and Hooda came in. And Chahar was picked because he can swing the ball really well. A few of our guys are resting but this side is still strong, shows the depth of our squad. (On captaincy with a young squad) Damn exciting, makes me feel so young (laughs). No but seriously this is a good opportunity for the guys travelling so far, to see the way Shubman has batted and Umran’s bowling, glad to see that transition. As a team we want to get our processes right, and put on a good performance in Christchurch. Hopefully we can win and enjoy ourselves.

8.04pm The match has been called off. Rain has the final say. The two umpires shake hands with the India captain, Shikhar Dhawan, and then with Kane Williamson. Long faces amongst the ground staff, who have done a remarkable job with the outfield. Pity, we couldn't get a game today, it was shaping up to be a good game. But, that's nature isn't it?

There were 12.5 overs possible and Shubman Gill and Suryakumar Yadav gave a good account of themselves despite the surface aiding pace and swing. Surya struck three sixes in his 25-ball 34, while Gill remained unbeaten on 45 off 42. Matt Henry was the only successful New Zealand bowler removing Shikhar Dhawan for 3. But as much as highlights go, that's all I have for you today with rain frustrating all the way.

Shame the match ended the way it did. Was shaping up to be a good contest. Anyway, that will be it from us today. Thanks for tuning in. We will meet once again for the third ODI, in Christchurch on Wednesday.

Rain forced the abandonment of the second One-Day International between India and New Zealand at Seddon Park in Hamilton.

India had amassed 89 for 1 in 12.5 overs when the weather finally forced the cancellation of the match. Shubhman Gill and Suryakumar Yadav scored 34*(25) and 45*(42) while looking to be in terrific shape.

The game was shortened to 29 overs for each side, but the subsequent interruption forced the officials to abandon the match.

Let us hope for a Sunny day on Wednesday, so that we'll be able to watch a full 50 over match .

How many times will rain win😆
