Why is rain bad news for Indian team? Upper hand for New Zealand

It is raining in Nottingham during the schedule of the match between India and New Zealand. It has been raining in England and a few matches have been cancelled due to the same earlier.

However, the rains may be a good news for New Zealand team but it is not the same for Indian team. If the match is cancelled, 1 point will be awarded to each team.

New Zealand team, which has won 3 matches already, will be steady while India would have still won only 2 matches. The number of matches required to win to go into the semis will remain the same 3 more for India.

Even if the match is not cancelled, the wet pitch will not be suitable for spin balls. India will have to let go of one of its strengths and pick up fast bowling. Fielders will have a hard time not slipping in the field as the entire field could not be covered.
