KEY POINTS:
Rain has forced the abandonment of the first one-day cricket international between New Zealand and the West Indies at the Queenstown Events Centre here today.
The West Indies were 129 for five in the 36th over when the players were forced from the field for a third time.
Play was officially abandoned about two hours after the players retreated to the pavilion.
The second match of the five-game series is scheduled for AMI Stadium in Christchurch on Saturday.
