Team India reaches Christchurch
Team India left for Christchurch a few hours after the second ODI in Hamilton was called off. The Indian cricketers, along with their spouses, left for Hamilton airport in the team bus and later took a flight to Christchurch. Yuzvendra Chahal’s wife Dhanashree and Surya’s wife Devisha posted on their social media accounts to let the world know where Team India is headed next.
India ODI skipper Shikhar Dhawan was seen taking a selfie with spinner Yuzvendra Chahal and all-rounder Deepak Hooda in what seems like a boarded plane to Christchurch. In another post, all-rounder Shardul Thakur looked at ease, and in a jolly mood alongside Mumbai teammate Shreyas Iyer.
The New Zealand Cricket team isn’t too far behind. The Black Caps too are on their way to the Hagley Oval, as announced by NZC.

IND vs NZ 3rd ODI: Record at Christchurch
For the record, India has never played an ODI at the Hagley Oval in Christchurch. Wednesday will be the first time India plays at the venue, looking to level the series. New Zealand, on the other end, has an overwhelming record at the venue.
The Black Caps have played 11 matches at the Hagley Oval and won 10 of them. A staggering record to say the least. Their only loss came to England in 2018. Clearly, New Zealand couldn’t have asked for a better venue than Christchurch to win the home series against India.
The game is already a sold out, as announced by NZC. The fans are eager to see both India and New Zealand fight it out in the middle with the series on the line. Team India will need to rewrite history books in order to end the series on a high. There is no reason, why they can’t, in holy Christchurch on Wednesday?

IND vs NZ 3rd ODI: Hagley Oval Pitch Report
The Hagley Oval pitch in Christchurch has something in it for both bowlers and batters. The venue has seen some high scoring games in excess of 320s, but has also witnessed bowlers outclassing the willow wielders. As long as the seamers maintain the proper line and length, they may control the game. Meanwhile, if the batters play carefully and are technically sound, they can also affect the outcome of the game. At this stadium, the average first-inning total is 262.
