HAMILTON, New Zealand -- India won the toss and chosen to bowl Tuesday in the third one-day cricket international against New Zealand, reduced by rain to 40 overs per side.

The toss was due to be made at 2.30 p.m. local time but was delayed by more than two hours by a wet outfield and passing showers. No sooner had the toss been made but rain returned and the covers were replaced.

Captain Shubman Gill called tails and the coin fell India's way for the seventh time in eight matches across the T20 and ODI series. India has bowled first on each occasion.

Rain also affected the first match of the series in Auckland which India won by five wickets and the second in Wellington, which India won by four runs to take a 2-0 series lead. Both matches were decided under the Duckworth Lewis system

New Zealand made one change to its lineup, recalling pacer Matt Fisher in place of Blair Tickner. India's lineup is unchanged.
