India vs New Zealand Highlights, World Cup 2019: Match Abandoned Due To Rain
India vs New Zealand Live Score, 2019 ICC Cricket World Cup: Persistent rain in Nottingham throughout the day forced the umpires to call off the match without toss.
Persistent rain in Nottingham delayed the start of the World Cup match between India and New Zealand on Thursday. But after the final inspection at 7:30 pm the umpires didn't find the conditions good enough for the play to start and decided to abandon the match, with both teams sharing a point each. The groundstaff at Trent Bridge were kept busy by the stop-start drizzle while the umpires carried out a number of inspections only for the rain to start again. Tournament organisers have faced criticism over their planning of the event after two washouts and one no result, forcing teams to share one point each. Bangladesh coach Steve Rhodes questioned why reserve days were not factored in after his side's fixture against Sri Lanka in Bristol was abandoned without a ball being bowled. International Cricket Council chief executive David Richardson said reserve days for every match would be "extremely complex to deliver". (SCORECARD)

That said, we will have to wait for an official word and that is all we can do at the moment.

We don't know how many times we have already written it and how many times we will have to write it, but sadly such has been the day. It is frustrating for the players, umpires, fans and worse for the groundstaff who are working tirelessly to drain the water but rain is ruining their efforts again and again.
It's still drizzling in Nottingham and the next inspection will be at 12:30PM.

— BCCI (@BCCI) June 13, 2019 - 15:03 (IST)Interesting stat!Given the conditions, no team would opt to bat after winning the toss. We will see if India will catch-up with the Black Caps or Kane Williamson's side will enhance their better run.
