New Delhi. The first T20 between Pakistan and New Zealand was being played in Rawalpindi on the evening of 18 April. But in this match only 2 balls were bowled, after which the match had to be stopped. Under the captaincy of Michael Bracewell, the New Zealand team won the toss in this match and decided to bat first. But his team could play only two balls. After this the match was stopped.
Actually, when the New Zealand team came on the field to bat, it started raining. At that time only 2 balls were bowled by Pakistan. The umpires waited for the rain to stop for some time but due to continuous rain the match had to be cancelled. In this way the first T20 between Pakistan and New Zealand remained inconclusive. Shaheen Afridi was that bowler of Pakistan. Who bowled 2 balls while bowling the first over.
