The one-off Test between Afghanistan and New Zealand was scheduled to start on September 9 at the Shaheed Vijay Singh Pathik Stadium in Greater Noida, but two days later, the match is yet to begin. The match has not even been tossed yet. Because the toss was constantly delayed due to wet ground on the first day itself and the whole day ended up being wasted. It was hoped to start the game on the second day, but the game could not be started on the second day in a row due to the wet ground. Now on the third day also, the field became more wet due to heavy rain in the evening. So that the possibility of the match being held on the third day is less. In this situation, all eyes are now on the match referee Javagal Srinath. He will assess the field’s wet outfield and then report back.
Look at the condition of Greater Noida Stadium where the groundsmen are cutting pieces of grass from the practice facility and planting them in the outfield of the main ground. 🥴🥴
