NZ vs IND 2026: Rain delays toss for first ODI at Eden Park

Slight drizzle at Eden Park in Auckland has pushed back the toss for the opening ODI between New Zealand and India on November 4, 2026. Ground staff responded by rolling out a large white cover over the central pitch area, and spectators who had already taken their seats in the stands were left waiting as officials monitored conditions. The BCCI shared the update from the ground, confirming the delay. As the scheduled toss time of 7:00 AM (Indian Standard Time) passed, the Eden Park pitch remained under covers, with drizzle not allowing for a timely start.
