India lead New Zealand 2-0 in the five-match ODI series and can seal it with two games to spare if they win the third ODI at Seddon Park in Hamilton on Tuesday morning.

The first two matches were both affected by rain, but India won them by 20 runs and four wickets respectively to take control of the series.

A win in Hamilton on Tuesday will mean New Zealand cannot catch India, with only the fourth and fifth ODIs left after that, and it will come before the focus shifts to the Test series.

The third ODI starts at 8:30am IST and will be broadcast live on the Sony Sports Network, with a live stream on SonyLIV. DD Sports will also show the match live.

India have won 20 of the 36 ODIs played between the two sides in New Zealand, while the hosts have won 16. However, the hosts have won their last six ODIs at Seddon Park, which could make this a tough match for India.

Batting strength and home challenge

India's batting has been strong in the first two matches, with Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli scoring hundreds and Shubman Gill leading the team.

Gill, who is captaining India in the absence of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, has scored 100 not out and 75 in the first two matches.

New Zealand have also been strong at home, winning their last six ODIs at Seddon Park, and they will be looking to use that record to their advantage.

Injury problems for New Zealand

New Zealand have been hit by injuries, with fast bowlers Lockie Ferguson and Blair Tickner ruled out of the series.

Ferguson has been replaced by Ben Lister, while Tickner has been replaced by Zakary Foulkes. New Zealand have also added Michael Clarke as a cover for Devon Conway, who is recovering from a back injury.

India have also had to make changes, with KL Rahul leaving the squad to prepare for the Test series and Ishan Kishan replacing him in the ODI squad.

Where to watch

The match will be broadcast live on the Sony Sports Network and streamed on SonyLIV from 8:30am IST on Tuesday.

DD Sports will also broadcast the match live, while fans can follow live scores and updates on the Dot Times website.
