MOUNT MAUNGANUI, New Zealand (AP) — The second Twenty20 between New Zealand and Australia was abandoned because of rain Friday, leaving the visitors with a 1-0 lead in the three-match Chappell-Hadlee Trophy series.
Rain delayed the toss by 30 minutes, then returned before the players could take the field. The match finally started at 9.30pm local time with nine overs per side, but only 13 balls had been bowled when the bad weather returned.
