The Story in 60 Seconds

India won the toss and elected to bowl against New Zealand in a rain-affected match reduced initially to a 40-over contest. Captain Shubman Gill chose to field under overcast skies on an underprepared pitch that had spent extended time under covers, with further rain threatening to reduce overs even more.
