Hamilton offered New Zealand a cruel sort of mercy. The rain turned up the day before the game and simply refused to leave. There was one thin gap in the clouds, enough for India to win the toss for the seventh time in eight on this tour and send the hosts in, and then the sky closed over again. Nobody got to bowl a ball.
New Zealand had won 11 home bilateral ODI series on the spin, the second-longest run the format has seen, and it ended on a wet outfield. Now they trail 2-0 with two games to play, and the best they can manage is a share of the series. That means winning at Bay Oval on Friday, November 13 and again two days later.
India will have a new voice in the huddle. Shubman Gill has played his last match of the tour as he turns to red-ball preparation, so Shreyas Iyer takes the armband.
New Zealand vs. India prediction: who will win?
Arshdeep Singh and Gurnoor Brar shared seven wickets in Auckland, and the chase of a reduced target was done with plenty of overs in hand. In Wellington, New Zealand were bowled out cheaply again, and India were ahead on the rain-adjusted par when the weather intervened.
New Zealand's batters have not yet found a way to build an innings against this attack and have scored 185 and 134. Indian batters have also found the going difficult, but they have done enough to better their counterparts.

The numbers here lean towards chasing, with bowling first the slightly happier option over the 32 matches in the record.
First innings scores average 235, so this is a surface where patience and a few middle-overs wickets usually count for more than fireworks.
