3:52 PM IST | It's raining cats and dogs now, and umpires Paul Wilson, Kumar Dharamsena, and Adrian Holdstock along with match referee Ranjan Madugalle have come to the conclusion of abandoning this encounter between New Zealand and Afghanistan.
It's a shame that rain has played the spoilsport in both encounters today. Perhaps, one of the side-effects of having a double header in the same venue. New Zealand and Afghanistan share a point each.
It's your guy, Arijit Kundu, signing off in despair alongside revered co-commentator, AkshayaKrishna Polya in utter despair, and star scorer analyst Zeeshan Naiyer with a better magnitude of disappointment. A poor way to end the eve and we wish to see less of it in the near future. Thank You, stay tuned to our network for all other happenings, until then it's a farewell from us.
