T20 WC: Washout Threat Looms Large On Pakistan-New Zealand Super Eights Clash In Colombo
New Zealand Super Eights: The threat of a washout is looming large on the first Super Eights clash of the Men’s T20 World Cup between Pakistan and New Zealand after heavy drizzle forced covers at the R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo immediately after the toss was held.
Pakistan captain Salman Ali Agha won the toss and chose to bat first, but the start has been delayed as showers started in a jiffy. With the rain continuing, the loss of overs has begun from 8:10 pm, while the cut-off for a five-over game is at 10:15 pm. If the situation does not improve, the fixture will be abandoned, and both sides will share points.
Forecasts had already raised concerns for a washout, with Accuweather predicting cloudy skies and a high chance of evening showers in Colombo. Persistent rain on Friday forced Pakistan to cancel training, and Saturday’s drizzle confirmed fears that the weather could play a decisive role in the tournament’s opening Super Eights match.
