Afghanistan vs New Zealand Only Test Match Update
Afghanistan vs New Zealand Only Test Match Update: In the game of cricket, weather plays a crucial part in the flow of any cricket match, and in monsoon season the game is difficult to conduct with regular flow. One such problem has been troubling the Afghanistan vs New Zealand test match, where the first two days of the test match were called off due to wet outfield and rain.
After day 2 of this test match was canceled the fans were a little happy as the ground was looking to come back into its original form but however, the weather gods did not favor it as the heavy rains started to pour again, which led to canceling of the day 3 of this only test match.
This is the third straight day that which has been canceled and now with only two days remaining the test match is definitely going in the direction of a draw. Even players have shown their discontent after the first three days of this single test match series being wasted without any ball being bowled.

What is the Situation of the Only Test Between AFG vs NZ
This was first time in a long time that Afghanistan and New Zealand were scheduled to play a test match, however, this test is not part of the WTC 2023-25 test cycle, so New Zealand can not worry about the points drop due to the draw test match. New Zealand after this test match is set to play against Sri Lanka and then will face India later in the year.
So now the three days of the test match have been called now and only two days are left for play, hopefully, we will get to see some action on Day 4 as the fans are eager to watch these teams play the test cricket.

Afghanistan Cricket Board Release their statement
The Cricket Board of Afghanistan has released a statement after the third day being called off due to heavy rain. They stated that the board had been allowed three stadiums but due to Indian domestic cricket’s busy schedule, the match was scheduled to be held at Noida. The test matches are planned for every five years and this makes it hard to predict the weather conditions for matches like this.

The heavy schedule of domestic cricket in India and heavy heat conditions in UAE have forced the Afghanistan cricket board to choose Noida as the venue for this only test match. Now fans will have to be part of a waiting game, where hopefully on day 4 the match resumes and we get to see some action.
