Auckland | India were set a revised target of 143 runs in 32 overs under the DLS method after a second rain interruption halted play in the first ODI against New Zealand here on Wednesday.

The play, which had resumed at 9.05pm local time following a rain break of one hour and 11 minutes, was halted again after just 1.1 overs, with rain getting heavier.
