Just like the first ODI in Auckland, rain could impact the second ODI between New Zealand and India in Wellington as well. Light, persistent rain affected training before the match, with New Zealand moving to an indoor facility at Wellington College, while India cancelled their session.

Inclement weather is forecast for Saturday, but there could be enough breaks in the rain to allow for a result.

Wellington weather for NZ vs IND ODI at Hnry Stadium: Will rain affect the match?

According to AccuWeather, there is a 60% chance of precipitation during the day in Wellington. The platform forecasts 1.7mm of rain to fall, with 97% cloud cover that will almost certainly prompt the captain who wins the toss to bowl first.

Its hourly forecast suggests there will be rain around the match start time (3pm) so there is the chance of a delayed start.

BBC Weather forecasts similar conditions with “light rain showers and a moderate breeze.” There is a 56% chance of precipitation at 3pm, which then increases to 58% by 6pm and 61% by 10pm.

The possibility of persistent rain showers could make chasing crucial. There is the chance of a stop-start encounter, and the ball could skid on more under lights if the weather allows.

India come into this match with a 1-0 series lead after a five-wicket win at Eden Park. The bowlers dominated as they dismissed New Zealand for 185, before Virat Kohli turned on the style to lead the response. In a rain-interrupted chase, India ended up reaching the revised target of 143 with 56 deliveries to spare.
