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.
