Afghanistan and New Zealand will hope that there will be action on Day 2 of AFG vs NZ Test after there was no play on Day 1. Despite no rain for over 15 hours, there was no play due to wet outfield. After multiple delays and pitch inspections, the umpires decided to call off play on the opening day, leaving both sides frustrated. The game has now been reduced to a four-day affair.
