New Delhi. A historic Test match was to be played between Afghanistan and New Zealand. Both the teams had reached Greater Noida Sports Complex ahead of time for this much-awaited Test match. But their hopes seem to be dashed. The toss has not taken place yet in this Test match to be played from September 9. The game had to be ended without a toss for the third consecutive day. Now the question arises whether this Test match will be held? Only 2 days are left in this Test match. On the third day i.e. Thursday, the situation was such that stumps were declared in the morning itself. Because due to continuous rain at night, the ground could not be fit for play even during the day. It has been raining in Delhi and its surrounding areas for the last few days. There is nothing in the name of facilities in this stadium of Greater Noida, due to which it is being criticized a lot.
All limits were crossed on the third day of the Afghanistan vs New Zealand (AFG vs NZ) Test match. The third day's play was cancelled in the morning itself. The officials did not even wait for half an hour. The last two days of the match i.e. the first and second day also ended without a toss. Now this Test match may be cancelled.

Talking about the first day, there was heavy rain the night before the match. Due to which the game could not be played due to the outfield being wet. The groundsmen tried their best to dry the outfield but they were not successful in it. During this time, the officials and umpires inspected the ground several times but in the end the stumps were declared.
On the second day, i.e. Tuesday, the groundsmen tried a different trick. The outfield grass and ground where the innings had settled was dug up and practice ground grass was planted there, but they were not successful here either and ultimately the second day's play had to be cancelled without a toss.
