India vs New Zealand 3rd ODI: Hamilton Schedule, Delayed-Start Check and Official Scorecard
The India vs New Zealand 3rd ODI is the Hamilton fixture on Tuesday, 10 November 2026, at Seddon Park. Its scheduled start is 7:30 am IST. BCCI’s match centre showed “Match Start Delayed” in the morning check around 9:20 am IST, with teams to be announced at the toss.
That is a dated status snapshot, not a promise about what the page will show later. Use the official match centre for the latest toss, playing XIs and score rather than treating the original scheduled time as proof that play has begun.
The correct fixture and time
The New Zealand Cricket summer schedule places the third ODI at Seddon Park on 10 November, starting at 3 pm New Zealand time. The corresponding scheduled time is 2 am UTC and 7:30 am IST.
| Item | Scheduled detail |
|---|---|
| Match | New Zealand vs India, third ODI |
| Date | Tuesday, 10 November 2026 |
| Venue | Seddon Park, Hamilton |
| India time | 7:30 am IST |
Keep the time-zone label when sharing the fixture. A page showing 2 am without its UTC label can easily be misread as an Indian start time. A delayed start is a separate development from that conversion.
Where to check the current status
The BCCI Hamilton match centre identifies the fixture and provides commentary, scorecard and squad sections. Check the match heading before using a bookmarked page; the teams have already met at other venues during this tour.
Read the status banner alongside the scorecard. Before the toss, a squad list is not the confirmed playing XI. A general preview can name likely players, but that is a different claim from the team actually announced for this match.
India arrive with two completed wins
The ICC first-ODI record gives India a five-wicket victory by the DLS method at Auckland on 4 November. New Zealand made 185, and India reached 143 for five against the revised target.
The second-ODI record gives India a four-run DLS win at Wellington on 7 November. New Zealand made 134 and India were 113 for seven after 26 overs when that result was determined.
Those two recorded results put India 2–0 ahead in the five-match ODI series entering Hamilton. The third fixture therefore offers India the chance to secure a series-winning third victory, while New Zealand need a win to keep the contest open.
Keep a revised target attached to its match
The first two games show why a rain-affected score needs its result and revised target beside it. Do not carry the Auckland target of 143 into a discussion of Wellington or Hamilton. Each game has its own innings, interruptions and official outcome.
For background on the opening chase, Bootpoot’s first-ODI DLS explanation covers that specific result. Today’s target, if one is set or revised, needs to come from today’s match officials and scorecard.
The tour also includes T20Is and Tests. Check the format beside the match number when searching: a third T20I and a third ODI are different fixtures, with different dates and potentially different team selections.
What follows Hamilton?
NZC’s published schedule sends the fourth ODI to Bay Oval in Tauranga on Friday, 13 November, followed by the fifth at the same venue on Sunday, 15 November. Both are listed for 3 pm New Zealand time, again corresponding to 7:30 am IST.
Those are the published fixture times. They do not determine the status of the Hamilton game or establish whether any later match will begin without an interruption. Keep each fixture’s current notice with its own date and venue.
A quick final check
Before passing on an update, confirm the match number, innings, overs and the time of the information. Distinguish an announced XI from a squad and a scheduled start from actual play. For the latest Hamilton position, return to the official match centre rather than an earlier screenshot of this morning’s delay.
