In the ODI between India and New Zealand, the Black Caps won the toss and opted to bat first, but rain returned shortly after, disrupting the start of the match.
The India vs New Zealand ODI, part of India’s tour of New Zealand, began with the Black Caps winning the toss and choosing to bat first.
Soon after the toss, rain returned to the venue, forcing a pause in play and delaying the start of the innings.
Match officials halted the game until the weather cleared, with no ball bowled until the rain subsided.
The decision to bat first was made before the rain, but the sudden return of showers meant the innings would be interrupted and the match will resume once the pitch is dry.
