Considering the weather, the match officials did not take long to rule out any possibility of play on Wednesday. Afghanistan, who don't get to play top teams often, are the hosts of the game.

"Afghanistan versus New Zealand Day 3 is called off due to persistent rains. The match will commence with 98 overs from tomorrow if the skies get clear," said the Afghanistan Cricket Board in a release.
