It was unfortunate for the Black Caps who had made a bright start to the game after being asked to bat first.
Opener Colin Munro blasted 66 off 23 balls as the homeside got to 102 for 4 after 9 overs before being forced from the field.
Persistent rain meant they were unable to return.
The three-match series will be decided at the same venue on Wednesday night.
Munro's innings included three sixes and 11 fours.

Sheldon Cottrell, Samuel Badree, Kesrick Williams and Ashley Nurse took one wicket each.
New Zealand won the first game by 47 runs.
