Heavy rain in Southampton took a massive toll on the WTC final between India and New Zealand on Friday as the play on day 1 was called off due to a wet outfield. The match was scheduled to start at 3 pm (IST) but the weather ensured that the pitch at the Ageas Bowl was covered and the toss was delayed. That was another example of how English summer and rain go hand in hand. As announced earlier, an extra reserve day is available if needed. If the outcome is a draw, the trophy will be shared.
UPDATE - Unfortunately, play on Day 1 has been called off due to rains. 10.30 AM local time start tomorrow.#WTC21
