Strange record made in Pakistan vs New Zealand T20
This happened for the first time in 147 years of history
Batsmen came but could not score runs
New Delhi. The cricket teams of Pakistan and New Zealand were face to face in the first T20 match of the 5-match series. The toss could not be done on time due to rain. Although later when the rain stopped, the toss took place but by then most of the playing time had already passed. In such a situation, it was decided to make the T20 match of 5 overs each. New Zealand captain Michael Bracewell won the toss and decided to bat first. But only two balls had been bowled in the match when the match had to be stopped midway. Rain again caused disturbance. When rain interrupted the game, the Kiwi team had scored 2 runs for 1 wicket. However, a strange record was made in this match which had not been made before in international cricket.
