AFG-NZ Test: Same Fate On Day 2 As Wet Outfiled Called Off Play

By IANS News September 10, 2024 • 16:04 PM View: 746

Greater Noida Sports Complex Ground: The second day of the one-off Test match between Afghanistan and New Zealand was also called off without a ball being bowled due to wet outfield at Greater Noida Sports Complex Ground on Tuesday.

Multiple inspections were held throughout the day before play was finally called off around 3:04 pm.

The groundstaff had cut a portion of the grass from the practice area and had brought that onto the wet section of the ground but the solution didn't pay off. The super soppers were at work to make the outfield ready for the play since Day 1.
