Greater Noida Sports Complex Weather Report Of Day 4 For AFG Vs NZ One-Off Test

Afg vs NZ- (X.com)

Things have gone from bad to worse as day 3 of the one-off Test between Afghanistan and New Zealand at the Greater Noida Stadium has been called off because of a wet outfield. Greater Noida witnessed heavy downpours in the early hours on Wednesday, which resulted in the officials calling off the day early on in the day. 

Further, the poor drainage system at the Greater Noida Stadium has also come under criticism, as not a single ball was bowled in the first two days despite no or minimal rain. 

There was downpour on the eve of the one-off Test, but a wet outfield resulted in no play on day one. A similar instance occurred on day two, where the groundsmen used various techniques such as electric fans and using the practice pitch's grass patch, but nothing could get the game to commence. Now with day three abandoned, let's look at the weather forecast for Thursday in Greater Noida.
