New Zealand coach and players during a practice session before the start of the second day of a one-off Test match between Afghanistan and New Zealand, in Greater Noida, Tuesday, Sept 10, 2024. The first day of the test was washed out.

Day three of the one-off Test between Afghanistan and New Zealand was cancelled due to heavy rain in Greater Noida on Wednesday.

The first two days of the game were called off without a ball bowled due to a wet outfield, raising serious questions over the preparedness of the venue.

Considering the weather, the match officials did not take long to rule out any possibility of play on Wednesday.

"Afghanistan versus New Zealand Day 3 is called off due to persistent rains. The match will commence with 98 overs from tomorrow if the skies get clear," said the Afghanistan Cricket Board in a release.
