New Zealand vs India 3rd ODI Prediction & Match Preview – Seddon Park, Hamilton, 10 November

New ZealandIndiaSeddon Park

New Zealand play India at Seddon Park, Hamilton, on Tuesday 10 November 2026 in the third one-day international of a five-match series. It is a day-night game scheduled to start at 3:00 pm local time. After Auckland on 4 November and Wellington on 7 November, this is the last match for New Zealand's first ODI squad, and a different group is named for the last two games at Mount Maunganui.

What is at stake

By the time the teams reach Hamilton, two of the five games will have been played, and the third can put one side ahead or leave the series level with two to go. Mount Maunganui hosts the fourth and fifth matches on 13 and 15 November. The tour then turns to two Tests, starting at the Basin Reserve in Wellington on 19 November.

New Zealand: a squad about to change

Mitchell Santner captains New Zealand through the series. A different group of players is named for the fourth and fifth matches at Mount Maunganui, and late changes to the squads mean the final XI will only be known at the toss.

India: captaincy changes after Hamilton

Shubman Gill captains India in the first three ODIs. Shreyas Iyer leads the side in the last two. Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli are in the squad.

The venue

Seddon Park is Hamilton’s main international ground and also hosted a T20I in this tour on 1 November. No pitch report or weather forecast has been published for 10 November, so conditions are unknown. Starting teams will be named at the toss.

What to watch

Hamilton is the last match of the series in which India are led by Gill, and Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli are the most experienced batters in the squad. For New Zealand, the question is how the Henry, Duffy and Jamieson pace group performs against that batting line-up, and whether Phillips, who scored 107 in the fourth T20I, carries his form into the 50-over format.

No prediction or expected scores are given, as the results of the first two ODIs and the conditions are not yet known.
