Rain delays India-New Zealand T20 tie





Visakhapatnam: Bad weather delayed the start of the first Twenty20 international between India and New Zealand in Visakhapatnam on Saturday.

The covers were still in place at the scheduled toss time of 6:30 pm (1300 GMT), with heavy rain lashing the southern coastal town since late afternoon.

The two-match series, a build-up for the World Twenty20 in Sri Lanka later this month, marks Indian batsman Yuvraj Singh's return to big-time cricket after being treated for germ-cell cancer between his lungs in March-April.

The second match is due to be played in Chennai on Tuesday.
