The two losing teams in the semi-finals of the T20 World Cup 2022 were scheduled to hit the ground running in the T20 series from today, however, the 1st T20I match between India and New Zealand have been washed off.
New Zealand and India lost to Pakistan and England in the semi-finals of the T20 World Cup 2022. They were scheduled to play the 1st of the 3 match T20I series beginning from today.
However, constant rain has meant that the match between India and New Zealand in Wellington has been called off.
While the fans are not happy to have been deprived of an exciting match, they have still found out positives in that. One fan even mentioned that MS Dhoni’s first match as captain was also washed off. However, note that this was not Hardik Pandya’s first match as captain as he lead the team in the series against Ireland earlier.
MS Dhoni was chosen to lead India in first-ever World T20 in 2007. He made his captaincy debut against Scotland but the match was washed off.

Rain God doesn't want the match to happen without Hitman ♥️
