IND-NZ First T20 Match Abandoned due to Heavy Rain: India and New Zealand were to play three T20s and three ODIs. The T20s will be played at Wellington, Mount Maunganui, and Napier. The ODIs are scheduled at Auckland, Hamilton, and Christchurch. The first T20 was to start today on November 18, but unexpectedly it has been washed out because of heavy rain at Wellington. Even the toss could not be held. This would result in the damp start. Indian team will now move to Mount Maunganui for the 2nd T20, which will be played on Sunday, November 20. The second T20 match will start at 12 noon Indian time at Mount Maunganui. It is the first time any T20 International match has been abandoned in New Zealand.
