Afghanistan vs New Zealand: One-off test, day 2 called off due to wet outfield

GREATER NOIDA,India: The anticipated clash between Afghanistan and New Zealand faced another setback on Day 2 as play was abandoned without even the toss taking place. Despite sunshine during most of the scheduled play hours, the outfield in Noida was deemed unfit for cricket following evening and overnight rains.

With no play on the first two days, frustration is mounting as both teams wait for the chance to get on the field. The outfield conditions, impacted by persistent wetness, posed a risk to the players, leading to the decision to call off Day 2 as well.

All eyes are now on Day 3, with the hope that no further overnight rain will affect the match. The day is scheduled to begin at 4 am GMT, with fans and players alike eager for the Test match to finally get underway.
