The India vs New Zealand white-ball series is just about to complete with just a single game remaining. India won the T20I series that witnessed two of the three games hindered by rain. Subsequently, New Zealand trumped in the first ODI, however, rain returned as the spoilsport in the second ODI as well washing the match away.

The stadium replaced the Lancaster Park in Christchurch as the international venue in 2011, the latter being severely damaged due to the February 2011 earthquake.
