NAPIER, New Zealand — Rain has delayed the toss Wednesday in the second one-day international between New Zealand and the West Indies at McLean Park.
Napier is one of the sunniest cities in New Zealand and has been enjoying fine, warm weather recently. But, proverbially, the best way to break a drought in the area is to organize a cricket match.
Wednesday’s match will be the first ODI played at McLean Park in six years.
New Zealand leads the three-match series 1-0 after winning the first match at Christchurch by seven runs.
Daryl Mitchell, who made a century for New Zealand in that match, will miss the rest of the series with a groin injury.
Rain is forecast to continue for most of the day but to abate in the evening.
