    Rain Washes Out Pakistan vs New Zealand Clash in ICC Men’s T20 World Cup Super Eights Opener

    Rain had the final say in the opening Super Eights contest of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup on Saturday, as it forced the abandonment of the clash between Pakistan and New Zealand at the R Premadasa Stadium on Saturday. Both sides were left to share the points after persistent showers prevented a ball from being bowled.

    Pakistan captain Salman Ali Agha had won the toss and elected to bat first, but no sooner had the decision been made than drizzle swept across the ground. Covers were quickly brought on, and puddles formed on the square, making conditions unplayable. Match officials waited through the evening, but with rain showing no signs of relenting, the inevitable call of abandoning the game was made.
