Right then, that is it from the game. The match is called off without a toss. Two exciting warm-up games are going on now - Bangladesh versus Sri Lanka and New Zealand versus Pakistan. Do switch tabs and enjoy the coverage of that game. Cheers!
So after a long delay, it is the rain gods who came out to be victorious and the match has been ABANDONED WITHOUT TOSS. Both the teams were hoping that they would finetune their skills and adapt to the conditions before entering the mega event but unfortunately, it couldn't happen today.
It is raining heavily here at Greenfield International Stadium, Thiruvananthapuram at the moment and the covers are on. The visuals don't look good here. The toss and the start of the play has been delayed.
On the other hand, Afghanistan comes into this event with a narrow loss against Sri Lanka in the Asia Cup. They would look to leave that behind and start fresh in this competition. While the result of this particular match may not have a direct impact on the tournament, it serves as a crucial opportunity for both teams to fine-tune their skills, strategize, and adapt to the conditions they will encounter during the main event. So, who will win? Let's find out. Toss and team news in a bit...
Hello, and a warm welcome to the warm-up game of the mega event as South Africa and Afghanistan go against each other at the Greenfield International Stadium. This game holds great importance for both teams as they prepare for the World Cup. South Africa will be high on confidence after their comeback in the recent ODI series against the Aussies. They came back from 2-0 down, winning the series 3-2.
