According to some reports and live telecast, fans were also seen leaving the ground as rain continued to play a spoilsport.
World Cup 2019 has already seen two matches been washed out due to rain and a third being abandoned. Clouds of uncertainty hovered over the start of the India vs New Zealand clash.
Both India and New Zealand are currently unbeaten in the World Cup 2019, with the latter leading the points table with three wins from as many matches.
New Zealand, runners-up of 2015 World Cup, had won their previous matches against Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Afghanistan while India won against South Africa and holders Australia.
