THIRUVANANTHAPURAM, India — Tournament host India saw another Cricket World Cup warmup game washed out without a ball being bowled against the Netherlands while Australia beat Pakistan by 14 runs in a thriller. There wasn't even a toss in Thiruvananthapuram as rain again frustrated India. India's warmup against defending champion England in Guwahati had also been a washout.
