WI v NZ, 1st ODI, Queenstown: Rain washes out opening ODI
Dec 31, 2008
Bad weather has forced the opening one-day international between New Zealand and the West Indies to be abandoned in Queenstown.
Only 35.4 overs were possible before rain brought an early end to proceedings shortly before 3pm local time with the West Indies on 129 for five.
Rain had been a feature from the very start with the players called off the ground after the opening over, then again in the 14th before play was suspended for a third and final time midway through the 36th over.
Xavier Marshall was unbeaten on 29 and wicket-keeper Denesh Ramdin was on three when play was called off.
Ramnaresh Sarwan top scored with 38 for the tourists who were inserted in overcast conditions after New Zealand skipper Daniel Vettori won the toss and opted to bowl first.
