AFG vs NZ: Full list of Test matches abandoned without a ball bowled due to rain

In an unfortunate turn of events to their third Test in India, Afghanistan’s one-off match against New Zealand at the Greater Noida Stadium Complex was called off for a third successive day to persistent rain.

On Tuesday, an under-par outfield added to the woes as the rains stood clear of the venue for a considerable time. However, heavy overnight showers have dampened the outfield, deeming the state unfit for the start of the game on Wednesday. The Test is only the third match held in India with neutral teams in action, following Afghanistan’s contests against Ireland and West Indies in 2019.

Even as the toss has yet to take place in the Test, match referee Javagal Srinath will only abandon the game on Day 5 if conditions continue to play spoilsport. (READ MORE)
