India vs New Zealand third ODI cricket toss, Digi Mart USA News (Hamilton, New Zealand): India won the toss and chose to bowl on Tuesday in the third one-day cricket international against New Zealand, which was reduced by rain to 40 overs per side.
The toss was scheduled for 2:30 p.m. local time but was delayed by more than two hours by a wet outfield and passing showers.
Rain returned shortly after the toss was completed, and the covers were replaced.
Captain Shubman Gill called tails, and the coin fell India’s way for the seventh time in eight matches across the T20 and ODI series. India has bowled first on each occasion.
