India and New Zealand had missed the semi-finals of the World Cup on Tuesday and New Zealand were 211 for 5 in 46.1 overs when the rain came and the game could not resume. The match is back on Reserve Day today. After some time, the match will start from where it was stopped tomorrow.

IND vs NZ: Even today if rain spoiled the game, so who will get the final ticket?

It happened when India and the England team were facing each other in 1999. In 1999, the group match between India and England was not over on the first day due to rain, so it was completed on The Reserve Day. The match was played in Birmingham on 29th and 30th May, which was won by India by 63 runs.

India were 232 for 8 in the first innings, while Rahul Dravid was the highest scorer with 53 runs. In reply, England scored 73 for three in 20.3 overs and it rained. The rain continued throughout the day and the game could not resume. The match went on Reserve Day.

On the second day, that is, on Reserve Day, the Indian team continued their impressive performance and clinched the match. Now, 20 years later, millions of fans from the team have similar expectations again on Reserve Day.
