Cricket: Rain could ruin must-win clash

The rain that has followed the Black Caps around in Sri Lanka could be a factor in tonight's winner takes all tri series match against India in Dambulla.

Rain prevented a result in New Zealand's last match and manager Dave Currie says there could be more wet weather on the cards.

He says the weather's a bit suspect, with plenty of rain around so they will only name their side after they have seen the pitch.

There is a reserve day should the match not be completed tonight.

Allrounder Jacob Oram has been ruled out with a knee injury.
