First India-New Zealand T20I match abandoned due to rain

The first game of the three-match T20I series between India and New Zealand officially has been abandoned due to heavy rain at Sky Stadium in Wellington without a single ball being bowled on November 18. India’s tour of New Zealand started with a washout, with both the team eager to move on from their World Cup exits. Both teams will move to Mount Maunganui for second T20I of the three-match series on November 20. While talking to the media, New Zealand right-arm leg spin bowler Ish Sodhi said that no one can control the weather at the end of the day and thus had to accept what took place.
