The match was called off at 6.46pm, five hours after the last significant rain fell on the ground. No significant drainage has been done since the abandonment of the New Zealand-Pakistan match on January 28, 2016. New Zealand Cricket chief operations officer Anthony Crummy said it was too early to speculate whether the next ODI would be moved. "[The drainage] is going to have to change if they want big games to come to Napier.
