Today's scheduled match between Pakistan and the Black Caps at McLean Park has been canned due to rain.
The decision was made after a final pitch inspection at 6.20pm.
Officials earlier said while it wasn't raining "the players' safety" was paramount.
The second one-day international cricket match did not start
at the scheduled 2pm time today because of persistent rain.
Black Caps media liason officer Callum Elder said it was obviously too wet for the ODI match to proceed on time and the officials had delayed the start.
