NZ vs IND 2026: Wellington ODI delayed due to wet outfield at Hnry Stadium

Officials at Hnry Stadium in Wellington were forced to delay the start of the second ODI in the five-match series on November 7, 2026, after a saturated outfield made conditions unfit for play. A toss that was due at 7:10 AM IST could not take place on schedule, with the match itself originally set to begin at 7:30 AM IST. The delay added an early-morning layer of uncertainty for fans in India tracking the game across the New Zealand Standard Time zone. Ground inspectors carried out their first assessment at 7:05 AM IST, arriving five minutes after the scheduled toss.
