The third one-day international (ODI) between New Zealand and India will be played at Christchurch’s Hagley Oval. The match is already sold out, according to the New Zealand Cricket Board, and it should be a fun environment on Wednesday. This ground has seen some excellent cricket in the past.
New Zealand won the first ODI and cannot lose the series because the second ODI was cancelled due to weather. With four pacers and one spin-bowling all-rounder in Mitchell Santner, the squad appears to be in good shape. Kane Williamson and Tom Latham will be the batting backbone once more.

Hagley Oval pitch report
The pitches in New Zealand are excellent for batting, and the Hagley Oval in Christchurch is no exception. This pitch is fantastic for batting, and the hitters will have a terrific time in the middle. The course has an even bounce, so batters will have no trouble hitting their strokes.
The boundaries at this ground are not very large, and it will undoubtedly favour hitters, however the speedy outfield will provide complete compensation for batters’ shots. The pacers may benefit from the pitch in the early overs of the game, and because it is an open field, the breeze will undoubtedly blow in.
Weather Report
The weather prediction predicts rain on Sunday. The temperature will be approximately 17 degrees Celsius, with a humidity level close to 80%. Both sides will have a difficult day.
