DTVHINDIRead the interesting story of that match, when the India vs New Zealand ODI match was stopped due to the sun
This incident happened during the year 2019 Team India (Image Credit- Twitter X) There are many reasons during a cricket match when the start of the game gets delayed due to some reason. Many times it has been seen due to technology, rain, storm, faulty flood lights and fans entering the field. However, if we tell you that once the match was halted due to the sun, would you believe it? But for your information, let us tell you that this is absolutely true. The first ODI match played during India’s tour of New Zealand in 2019 was halted due to the sun. It is worth noting that the first match of that tour of India was played at McLean Park, Napier. Usually the pitches in a stadium are situated in the north-south direction, but in Napier the pitch is in the east-west direction, due to which the sunlight was falling directly in the eyes of the players in that match. After this, Indian team’s opening batsman Shikhar Dhawan complained to the umpire about this. Umpire Shaun Haig discussed this incident in an interview and said that the sun is directly in the eyes of the batsmen. Therefore, we have to consider the safety of the players and the umpires. Therefore, we have decided to postpone the game until the situation improves. This was the first time in my 14 years that I have seen something like this happen on a cricket field. The good news is that we have 30 minutes of extra time. We are hoping to be back in 30 minutes and it will still be a 50-over game. India won the match by 8 wickets On the other hand, if we tell you about the situation of that match, India won the match by 8 wickets. Due to rain, the match was reduced to 38-38 overs. Batting first, New Zealand had set a target of 157 runs for India to win, which India achieved by losing 2 wickets. Dhawan remained unbeaten by scoring 75* runs in the match.

In this post, Ashwin said – This only Test will be fun to watch. We know that Afghanistan produces amazing talent, but the solidity and stability they need will be their batting department. They have class in the form of Ibrahim Zadran and Rahmat Shah, but there is no one else to follow. That’s why I’m excited to see what youngsters Riaz Hassan and Bahir Shah have to offer. They are both promising and have averages over 55 in first class. Signs of a strong future for India were seen in the 2000s when Yuvraj Singh and Mohammad Kaif came up from the Under 19s to the team. That’s why these 2 players could give Afghanistan a peak at what it can achieve over the next decade. See this post of Ashwin This one off Test will be fun to watch. We know Afghanistan produce insane talent but the one area of solidity and stability they need is from their batting department. They have Ibrahim Zadran and Rahmat shah oozing class but not much else to follow, and that is why I am… pic.twitter.com/e6REqHdMsI — Ashwin 🇮🇳 (@ashwinravi99) September 7, 2024 Afghanistan squad for the one-off Test against New Zealand Hashmatullah Shahidi (captain), Ibrahim Zadran, Riaz Hasan, Abdul Malik, Rahmat Shah, Baheer Shah Mehboob, Ikram Ali Khil (wicketkeeper), Shahidullah Kamal, Afsar Zazai (wicketkeeper), Azmatullah Omarzai, Zia ur Rehman Akbar, Shams ur Rehman, Qais Ahmed, Zahir Khan, Nijat Masood, Khalil Ahmed.

New Zealand opener Finn Allen gets a two-year contract with Perth Scorchers, read the big news
The cricketer has amassed 3544 runs in 126 T20 matches played. Finn Allen (Photo Source: Twitter) New Zealand cricket team’s explosive opening batsman Finn Allen has secured a two-year contract with Big Bash League (BBL) franchise Perth Scorchers. It is worth noting that recently he had turned down New Zealand’s central contract to play more franchise cricket. So according to the latest guidelines of BBL, any franchise can now sign a contract of more than 1 year with any player. After this rule of BBL, teams will definitely get help in making their future strategy. Apart from the Scorchers, Adelaide Strikers and Sydney Sixers have also released the list of pre-drafting players before the start of the upcoming season of their tournament. If the latest media reports are to be believed, West Indies’ Akil Hussain may join the Sixers very soon. Finn Allen will play for Perth Scorchers in BBL 2024-25 However, now that 25-year-old Finn Allen has turned down the central contract of the New Zealand cricket team, he will be seen playing with the Perth Scorchers in the upcoming BBL season. Due to this, he may miss playing for the Kiwi team in the white ball series against Sri Lanka at the end of December. So by adding Finn Allen, Perth Scorchers have tried to overcome the lack of an opening batsman in the last season. Because last season the team’s opening batsman Jack Crowley was able to score only 2 half-centuries in 6 innings. But now it will be interesting to see how Allen is going to perform for the franchise? If we tell you about Finn Allen’s T20 career, he has played a total of 126 matches in this format, in which he has scored a total of 3544 runs at an excellent strike rate of 168.60.

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.
