IND vs NZ 2nd ODI: Toss Delayed Due To Rain At Hnry Stadium In Wellington

Rain made its presence felt for the second consecutive match in the ongoing ODI series between India and New Zealand. The toss has been delayed due to the weather at the Henry Stadium in Wellington. India currently leads the five-match series 1-0. The opening match in Auckland was also affected by rain, with New Zealand managing to chase down a DLS-reduced target of 143 in 22.4 overs after India had set a target of 143 in 32 overs.

The bad weather continued as teams were forced to cancel their planned training sessions at the match venue, with New Zealand moving their practice indoors while India scrapped their session altogether. It has stopped raining, and an inspection is to take place in the next four to five minutes. According to Accuweather, there is a 60% chance of precipitation in Wellington on Saturday, with showers more likely in the morning, reducing to 55% in the second half.

The game is scheduled to start at 3 PM local time, 7:30 AM IST, but the delay in the toss has left both teams waiting for an official decision.
