However, the weather forecast in Hamilton is far from encouraging. It rained for much of Monday, and showers could cause significant interruptions on Tuesday as well.
It's raining again
Seems like it's going to be a long haul today for the ground staff. The rain is back, so is it cover. This is the third successive game affected by rain. The previous two games have been lowscorers and one wonders if rain made them so.
Toss delayed!
It's not raining at the moment and the covers are off. The groundstaff are working tirelessly to get the ground ready for action.
Toss has been delayed. It will now take place at 7:32 am IST. Match will begin at 8 am IST.
New Zealand protecting their streak

India chased it down in 22.4 overs for the loss of five wickets.
The Wellington clash was interrupted by rain. Gurnoor Brar's four-for helped India fold New Zealand for just 134 runs. And yet it wasn't an easy chase for India. Gill and Kohli fell early. However, effors from Rohit Sharma, Shreyas Iyer and KL Rahul helped India stay above the DLS score when rain arrived. India eventually got over the line, winning by 4 runs on DLS method.
