The third T20I between New Zealand and India is set to take place in Wellington on Tuesday, October 27, 2026. The match is expected to start at 8 PM local time, or 12:30 PM IST, following the toss at 7:30 PM local time, or 12 PM IST. New Zealand will be without two of their pacers, Matt Henry or Lockie Ferguson, while India will be without their injured batsman, Ishan Kishan. Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, a teenager, will be making his debut in place of Kishan.
The weather forecast for Wellington ahead of the match is for heavy rain in the morning, with a 95% chance of precipitation between 7 AM and 9 AM. However, the rain is expected to clear up by the evening, with the chance of rain dropping below 10% during the entire match. The temperature is forecast to be around 14°C during the day and drop to 9°C by 11 PM, making the evening cooler than Christchurch experienced on Saturday night.
The Hnry Stadium, also known as Sky Stadium, is the venue for the match. The morning weather, which includes heavy rain and a cold, still, humid evening, is likely to make the ball damp, favoring the quicker bowlers. The square boundaries are short, around 60 meters, which could give New Zealand's team, lacking a slower-ball specialist, an opportunity to score freely. The ground has a history of high T20I totals, with the highest being 219 for 6 by India against hosts New Zealand in a previous encounter.
