The third day’s match was cancelled due to rain. infoNew Zealand vs Afghanistan. (Photo Source: X(TWitter/BlackCapz) The only Test match between Afghanistan and New Zealand was to be played at Greater Noida Sports Complex Ground in Greater Noida, but in the three-day game, the toss has not even taken place. Due to rain and bad outfield, the game was spoiled on the first and second day, while the same happened on the third day. There was not much rain at night, but on the third day, rain started from the morning itself. Due to this, the officials cancelled the third day’s play at the beginning of the third day itself. In this way, the coin could not be tossed on the third day as well. Now the chances of this match happening are very less and there is a high chance that the match may be cancelled. This test match was to be played from 9 September but it rained that night so the match did not start at its scheduled time. Although the pitch was fine for the match, some parts of the outfield were flooded. AFG vs NZ: Test match did not start despite the efforts of the ground staff The ground staff tried their best to start the match, but they were unsuccessful. The umpires and match officials inspected the pitch and the ground several times, but despite several inspections, the toss could not be conducted in this match. On the second day, the ground staff used a new trick and wherever there was water on the ground, the grass and land was dug out and the grass from the practice ground was planted there. But still nothing special was achieved from this. Despite the grass being planted, there was water in some parts and the ground was not suitable for playing the match. Due to this, the match was cancelled on the second day as well. The match was expected to start on the third day, but the ground had become wet again due to the rain at night. More than half of the ground was covered, but still there was water in many parts. Apart from this, there was heavy rain at the time of the match starting on the third day and the situation became even worse. Due to this, the third day’s play had to be canceled. The Afghanistan Cricket Board has said that if the conditions are good on the fourth day, then the match will start at 9 o’clock and 98 overs will be played. But this does not seem possible right now.

Devon Conway (Photo Source: Getty Images) The New Zealand Cricket Board suffered a major setback when star batsman Kane Williamson turned down the central contract. Now when New Zealand is looking for players for its team, openers Devon Conway and Finn Allen have taken a big decision regarding their central contracts. While Devon Conway has opted for a contingent contract, Finn Allen has turned down a central contract to focus more on franchise cricket opportunities. What did Devon Conway say about his contract Conway, 33, who has been selected for the Tests against Afghanistan and Sri Lanka, has committed to all international matches for the next 12 months, except the white-ball series against Sri Lanka in January. Actually, Conway wants to play in SA20, the third edition of which is starting from January 9. He also said that his family is the main reason behind choosing a casual contract. He said on this- “First of all I would like to thank New Zealand Cricket for their cooperation in this process. The decision to walk away from the central contract has been a well-thought out one. I believe this is the best decision for me and my family at this time.” “I am excited to be part of the upcoming Test squad for the crucial phase of the ICC World Test Championship cycle and, if selected, also look forward to featuring in the ICC Champions Trophy in Pakistan in February next year.” Let us tell you that Trent Boult, Martin Guptill had walked away from the national contract in 2022 itself in search of franchise cricket opportunities, while Kane Williamson has taken this decision this year. What statement came from New Zealand Cricket “We are delighted with Devon’s decision to commit to the Blackcaps – he is a quality player who has made strong contributions to the squad over the last few years. It is important to have flexibility in our system to deal with some of the challenges presented by franchise cricket in the current environment – and this is another example of how we are working hard to retain our best players.”
New Zealand SWOT Analysis: What are New Zealand’s strengths and weaknesses for the T20 World Cup, know everything here
New Zealand Cricket Team (Image Credit- Twitter X) New Zealand have played 36 T20 matches since the last T20 World Cup and have not made too many changes to the squad from the 2022 edition. With Martin Guptill failing to find a place, the selectors decided to go with Rachin Ravindra. There have been two changes in the Kiwi team this season compared to the 2022 T20 World Cup. Kane Williamson will play his sixth T20 World Cup while Tim Southee is expected to play for the seventh time in the mega event. On the other hand, for Trent Bolt, this will be his fifth World Cup, which is now played every two years. The Kiwi team for this World Cup has a good mix of young players and experienced players, so the team will want to win this T20 World Cup at all costs. In this article today, we will look at New Zealand’s strengths, weaknesses and what can pose a threat to their team. Strength Finn Allen and Devon Conway are set to open the batting for the Blackcaps and with the likes of Rachin Ravindra, Kane Williamson, Daryl Mitchell and Glenn Phillips in the middle order – New Zealand’s batting order looks very strong for this World Cup. Trent Boult can prove to be very lethal with the new ball and Tim Southee can take some wickets in the middle overs along with the two spinners – Mitchell Santner and Ish Sodhi. Bolt and Southee are not that good in the death overs and there is a risk of scoring a lot of runs against them. While Jimmy Neesham, Daryl Mitchell and Glenn Phillips can contribute in bowling if needed. The team does not have any quality spinners. In such a situation, bowling can prove to be a weak link for the Kiwi team. Opportunity New Zealand have not won the T20 World Cup yet and so they would like to win this tournament. West Indies, Afghanistan, Uganda and Papua New Guinea are the other four teams in the group and the Black Caps will try to reach the Super Eight stage without any difficulty. The Kiwi team has always performed better than expected in ICC tournaments. The Kiwi team always surprises everyone by reaching the semi-finals and something similar is expected to happen this season as well. Threat Although New Zealand has always performed above expectations in ICC tournaments, they can no longer be considered the dark horse of the T20 World Cup. Having played the ICC ODI World Cup finals in 2015 and 2019 and the T20 World Cup final in 2021, the Kiwi team is one of the most consistent teams in white ball cricket. However, the Kiwi team fails in knockout matches. In such a situation, they must be fearing the same this season as well.
