Talking about the game, it was abandoned after India played 12.5 overs in the game. The Men In Blue were asked to bat first by the Kiwis.

After playing for 12.5 overs, the rains arrived and made sure the game doesn’t restart.

After the game, the skipper of both teams spoke about the weather. India skipper Shikhar Dhawan said “It [weather] is not in our control. You just have to wait. Cannot help it but now looking forward to the next game.” On the other hand, New Zealand skipper Kane Williamson said “A bit disappointing, the weather seems to be following around us. But we did well to get some cricket. A good team performance in the first ODI. Latham played a fantastic innings. Looking forward to Christchurch now.”
