Christchurch Weather Forecast & pitch report for India vs New Zealand ODI: India and New Zealand will square off in the third ODI of their three-match series on November 30. Rain has played spoilsport throughout India’s tour and the second ODI was also abandoned due to bad weather. With Shubman Gill and Suryakumar Yadav batting brilliantly, India were in a commanding position in that match before rain stopped play. The Kiwis are leading in the series 1-0 and it is pertinent that Team India wins the last ODI in order to salvage the series. Skipper Shikhar Dhawan as well as the fans would want that rain stays away from Christchurch on Wednesday.

IND vs NZ Pitch Report
The pitch at the Hagley Oval is known to have something for both batters and bowlers. Disciplined bowling is rewarded in this ground and batters who apply themselves at the crease usually flourish. The bowlers should also get some additional help as the conditions will be overcast throughout the match. An excellent game of cricket is on the cards if the rain doesn’t play spoilsport.
