Rain washes out third NZ-India ODI

India retain 2-0 series lead with two matches remaining

HAMILTON:

The third one-day international between New Zealand and India was abandoned on Tuesday without a ball being bowled because of rain in Hamilton.

India lead the five-match series 2-0 heading into the fourth and fifth matches, which take place in Mount Maunganui on Friday and Sunday.

The teams will then play a two-Test series, starting in Wellington next week and Christchurch at the end of the month.

New Zealand and India are marking 100 years of sporting rivalry between the two countries.
