The only Test match between Afghanistan and New Zealand has been abandoned in Greater Noida due to persistent rains in Delhi-NCR for the last three days. The AFG vs NZ Test\u00a0became only the eighth such\u00a0match in history to be abandoned without a ball being bowled on all five days. There was the possibility of play on the first couple of days, especially with the sun shining, however, a poor drainage system meant that even the toss didn&#8217;t take place due to wet outfield and the rain in the next three days almost made the play impossible.  <!-- \/8323530\/ITv_Desktop_VDO_1X1 -->\n  <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It is still raining\u00a0in Greater Noida and due to frequent rains, the 5th and final day of Afghanistan vs New Zealand test has been also called off by the match officials,&#8221; the official statement from Afghanistan Cricket Board read.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>Test matches abandoned without a ball being bowled<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>&#13;<\/p>\n<li>England vs Australia, Old Trafford (Manchester) in 1890<\/li>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<li>England vs Australia, Old Trafford (Manchester) in 1938<\/li>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<li>Australia vs England, Melbourne Cricket Ground in 1970<\/li>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<li>New Zealand vs Pakistan, Carisbrook (Dunedin) in 1989<\/li>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<li>West Indies vs England, Bourda (Georgetown) in 1990<\/li>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<li>Pakistan vs Zimbabwe, Iqbal Stadium (Faisalabad) in 1998<\/li>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<li>New Zealand vs India, Carisbrook (Dunedin) in 1998<\/li>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<li>Afghanistan vs New Zealand, Greater Noida in 2024*<\/li>\n<p>&#13;\n<\/ul>\n<p><em>More to follow&#8230;<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async>\nfunction loadFacebookScript(){\n!function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s){if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\nn.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;\nn.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\nt.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)}(window,\ndocument,'script','https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\nfbq('init', '529056027274737');\nfbq('track', 'PageView');\n}\nwindow.addEventListener('load', (event) => {\n\tsetTimeout(function(){\n        loadFacebookScript();\n\t}, 5000);\n});\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.indiatvnews.com\/sports\/cricket\/afg-vs-nz-test-in-greater-noida-abandoned-without-a-ball-being-bowled-in-rare-occurrence-first-in-26-years-2024-09-13-951906\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Image Source : PTI The Afghanistan-New Zealand Test match at Shaheed Vijay Pathik Sports Complex never took off and was abandoned without a ball being bowled The inevitable has happened.
