Seddon Park hosts New Zealand against India in the 3rd ODI, number 8 in a 12-match India tour of New Zealand, 2026. It is listed for Monday 16 November 2026, with the start at 19:30 IST. New Zealand have home conditions on their side, which our model counts as a small edge.
Both sides lean on their batting depth, so the contest is likely to be decided by whoever handles the big overs better. Seddon Park is a batting-friendly surface with a quick outfield and short straight boundaries, so we expect a flat / batting surface with a first-innings score around 314–365 for India and 305–355 for New Zealand.
Changeable weather is normal, and a cool, overcast morning suits the seamers. The toss lean is to bowl first. Most captains chase on a true surface because they can pace the innings to a target.
