  "account": "Seddon Park may provide another bowler-friendly pitch for the third ODI between New Zealand and India in Hamilton. Groundsman Karl Johnson has been working to prepare a more balanced surface after wet weather has made pitch preparation difficult. Fast bowlers have dominated the first two ODIs at the venue, and New Zealand has never lasted beyond 41 overs in either match. The weather forecast calls for rain on Tuesday, which will likely keep seamers interested, although a more bowler-friendly surface is expected.",
