Afghanistan's adopted home ground at Greater Noida, on New Delhi's outskirts, has been hit by persistent rain, forcing officials to call the match off without even staging the toss.
The one-off Test at Afghanistan's adopted home near India's capital New Delhi was supposed to start on Monday but the toss is yet to take place because of rain and the poor condition of the Greater Noida ground.
The opening day of the Test at Afghanistan's adopted home ground at Greater Noida was called off on Monday because of a wet outfield. Despite a sunny morning, the outfield remains damp following 10 days of rain.
"It is one of the greatest performances for us in T20’s against a big team like New Zealand," Afghanistan captain Rashid Khan said
The blunders also allowed New Zealand to eventually escape from a struggling 110-4 to 288-6.
It was a typical team effort by the 2019 runners-up, who registered their fourth successive victory to go top of the points table.
Afghanistan pulled off one of the greatest shocks in the history of the tournament when they defeated defending champions England by 69 runs in New Delhi on Sunday. That victory was set up by Gurbaz's 57-ball 80, laced with eight boundaries and four sixes.
