The second ODI between New Zealand and India at Hnry Stadium in Wellington was delayed on November 7, 2026, due to a saturated outfield. The first inspection of the ground was scheduled for 7:05 AM IST, as rain continued to impact the match day conditions.

This delay marks the second consecutive instance of weather disruptions in the ongoing ODI series, with the toss also postponed because of rain. India currently leads the five-match series 1-0, having won the first ODI in Auckland, which was affected by rain as well. In that match, India successfully chased down a DLS-reduced target of 143 runs amidst challenging weather conditions.S2

The persistent rain that affected Wellington on Friday has raised concerns over the match's viability, echoing similar weather-related interruptions faced during the series opener. As the teams await further updates, fans remain hopeful for a resolution that will allow play to commence at Hnry Stadium.S1S2
