AFG Vs NZ One-Off Test: Weather Report For Day 3 For Greater Noida Sports Complex

Greater Noida Sports Complex (x)Greater Noida Sports Complex (x)

The second day of the much-anticipated one-off Test between Afghanistan and New Zealand was abandoned on Tuesday, September 10, after officials deemed the ground unfit for play. Despite no rain, the outfield at the Greater Noida Sports Complex, hosting its first-ever Test, has posed significant challenges, leaving the match without a single ball bowled so far.

The opening day, scheduled for September 9 (Monday), saw the toss postponed due to an unfit outfield, and hopes for play on Day 2 were dashed after an inspection revealed continued poor conditions.

In a desperate attempt to salvage the surface, ground staff resorted to digging up portions of the outfield, filling damaged sections spanning two to three feet with dry soil and grass. 

With rain predicted for Day 3, the chances of play remain slim, and the fate of the match hangs in the balance. The situation has drawn attention to the poor planning and facilities at the stadium, casting a shadow over its future as a Test venue.
