India vs New Zealand 2nd ODI Highlights: Persistent Rains Wash Out Hamilton ODI

Well, that was all we had in this coverage for you. Despite the rains, we saw some classy batting from Shubman Gill and Suryakumar Yadav as India raced away to 89/1. Persistent rains made sure that the match was called off. This means our coverage ends, but we will return on Wednesday when India reaches Christchurch for third and final ODI. Till then, it’s good bye.

The match has been called off. This was always on the cards right from ball one when the match got underway under overcast conditions.

And now they are covering the outfield as well which means they are expecting more rain in the day. Hard to imagine that we had just 13 overs of play so far.

And just when it looked like SKY is set for a special knock, the heavens have opened up and players rushing towards the pavilion. Covers are back. This is disappointing really. IND 89/1(12.5)

SIX! SKY charges down the track and whacks Lockie for a maximum. A couple of sixes for him in a space of five balls. IND 85/1(12.3)

SIX! Wow, that was out of the world from SKY. Plays the reverse sweep against the off spin of Bracewell and still manages to clear the field. IND 77/1(11.5)

SIX-That one from SKY will clear the boundary and we have six more runs! It was in the slot from Santner and the batter wasted no time in whacking that one. IND 67/1(10.3)

FOUR-Another great shot from Gill. Reached out and extended his arm and then whack—Bracewell concedes his first boundary; Gil reaches 39. IND 59/1(9.5)

FOUR- And finally a boundary from SKY. Backs away, makes some room and then takes out the upper cut. IND 51/1(9)

SIX-Awesome, that’s awesome shot from Gill. Short ball from Henry and he pulls that one for a maximum. IND 41/1(7.3)

FOUR-That’s gone through. Four byes for India and fans rejoice. Short ball from Lockie Ferguson. IND 33/1(6.5)

Dhawan gone! He was looking to up the ante, but holed out at mid on. Meanwhile first wicket for Matt Henry and Dhawan departs for 3. IND 23/1(5.1)

Welcome back after that more than two hour long rain break as Dhawan charges down the track and gets a single. IND 23/0(5)

The covers are OFF & the play is set to resume at 06.40 PM (Local Time) – 11.10 AM IST.

𝗨𝗽𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗣𝗹𝗮𝘆𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗱𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 29 overs/side 10 mins break between innings No drinks break

Good news! Match will resume at 11.20 AM IST. 29 overs per side.

The rain has yet again stopped and we will have an inspection at 11 AM IST.

Sorry folks, the rain has returned and so has the covers. There was an inspection scheduled, but that too has now been pushed back. Signs are ominous.
