The third one-day international between New Zealand and India was abandoned on Tuesday due to rain.
India won the toss but play was delayed for more than two hours due to a wet outfield and passing showers, and no play was possible.
The decision to abandon the match was made shortly before 7pm, when steadier and heavier rain meant there was no chance of preparing Seddon Park for play before the cut-off time of 8pm.
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 were decided under the Duckworth-Lewis system
The teams now move to Mount Maunganui for the fourth and fifth matches on Friday and Sunday. India can no longer lose the series, but New Zealand still has a chance to draw level.
