Nottingham, June 13
Rain didn’t allow a single ball to be bowled in the World Cup contest between India and New Zealand, resulting in both teams earning a point each.
The abandonment of the match means that NZ have seven points from four matches and are No. 1 on the points table, while India are third with five points from three matches. India and NZ are the only two unbeaten teams, too.
If the match had had a result, either NZ would have consolidated their position with their fourth consecutive win; or India’s third win in a row would have put them at joint No. 1 with the Kiwis.
India next play Pakistan in Manchester on June 16. The Midlands region has been buffeted by strong spells of seasonal rain, but the clouds are receding. There is a good chance that Manchester may be soggy, but not drenched. The match is likely to be on.
