The last two unbeaten teams in the Cricket World Cup — India and New Zealand — were to meet at Nottingham on Thursday; however, inclement weather forced yet another washout in the tournament. Each team was awarded a point.
New Zealand is 3-0 and India 2-0 to start the tournament.
Two-time World Cup champion India has won six of the last seven one-day internationals against New Zealand, including the most recent in February.
But in World Cup history, New Zealand leads India 4-3, including their only previous encounter at Nottingham in 1999.
