T20 World Cup: Rain cancels India’s warm-up game vs New Zealand
Due to heavy rain at The Gabba, India’s second and final warm-up game against New Zealand was called off on Wednesday without a ball being played.
On Monday, India upset hosts Australia by six runs in their first warm-up match here. Facing Australia, India posted 186 for 7, thanks to half-centuries from KL Rahul (57) and Suryakumar Yadav (50), a mark they held despite captain Aaron Finch’s resurgence of form with a 54-ball 76.

Mohammad Shami (3/4), brought into the squad in place of an ailing Jasprit Bumrah, excelled for India with the ball in the last over, which resulted in four dismissals, comprising three wickets for the right-arm fast bowler.
It's raining here at The Gabba currently.
