The highly anticipated Super 8 match between Pakistan and New Zealand in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup was called off on Sunday due to persistent rain.
Pakistan captain Salman Ali Agha won the toss and opted to bat. However, continuous rainfall prevented any play, and the umpires later declared the match abandoned. As a result, both teams were awarded one point each.
Pakistan made a key change to their lineup, including Fakhar Zaman in place of Khawaja Nafi.
The cancellation adds pressure on Pakistan as they look ahead to their next Super 8 fixture against England cricket team on February 24. Fans and analysts now await a must-win performance in the upcoming match to stay on track in the tournament.
Rain interruptions continue to be a challenge for teams in the Super 8 stage, affecting momentum and strategies for the remaining matches.
