AFG vs NZ: The third day's play between Afghanistan and New Zealand was also cancelled, this happened after 16 years in Test cricket
The third day's play has also been canceled in the only Test match between Afghanistan and New Zealand. The official announcement of the cancellation of the third day of the Test match was made soon after seeing the weather. This match is being played at the cricket stadium of Greater Noida Sports Complex, in which the first two days of play were canceled due to wet ground. The third day's play was canceled due to continuous rain. This has happened after 16 years in Test cricket when the first three days of play in a Test have been canceled continuously.
This happened in Test cricket after 16 years.
The last time the first three days of play in a Test match were canceled was in 2008. The big thing is that New Zealand was also a part of that Test match. That Test match was between Bangladesh and New Zealand in Mirpur.
Rain canceled the third day's play.
According to Indian time, the cancellation of the third day of the only Test match played between Afghanistan and New Zealand was announced at 9:15 am. In fact, the condition of the ground became so pathetic due to continuous rain that it did not take much time for the match referee and umpires to reach their decision.
With no play on the third consecutive day in the only Test match, there is almost no chance of any result coming out of it. After the condition of the ground due to rain, the biggest question is whether even a single ball will be played in this Test match. Looking at the current situation, the answer to this big question seems to be no.
The first two days of play could not take place due to wet ground
The first two days of the Test match were canceled due to wet ground. The ground staff tried hard to dry the water that had accumulated in the midfield area of the ground due to heavy rain. On the second day, they even tried to cut and remove the wet part of the midfield area of the ground and replace it with a dry surface brought from the net practice area. But, despite trying every trick, they were not able to make the ground suitable for playing the match.
