The India vs Netherlands ICC Men’s World Cup 2023 warm-up match at the Greenfield International Stadium in Thiruvananthapuram on Tuesday, October 3 was abandoned due to rain without a ball being bowled. Even the toss could not be held due to persistent rain.

There was brief hope when the rain stopped and the covers were removed. However, it was all back to square one again after heavy rains returned as the officials decided that there was no chance of a game being held.

Earlier, Team India’s first warm-up match against England at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati was also abandoned without a ball being bowled. Rohit Sharma won the toss and decided to bat first, but no play was possible as it started raining before play could get underway.
