Rain washes out the 1st T20I between New Zealand and India at Wellington

The 1st T2OI of the 3-match series between New Zealand and India was scheduled to play today in Sky Stadium, Wellington. The rain however got the better of the scheduled match. The match was abandoned due to persistent rain which didn't even allowed the toss to happen.
