The second One Day International (ODI) cricket match between Afghanistan and Ireland has been called off due to heavy and persistent rain in Sharjah, according to a statement on Saturday.
“Heavy and persistent rain in Sharjah [the venue for the game]” had forced the match to be called off, the Afghanistan Cricket Board (ACB) said.
“The decision to call off the game was made as the result of extensive discussions between the event’s technical committee, match officials, and ground staff,” the board said in a statement.
Afghanistan currently leads the series 1-0 after a 35-run win in the first ODI in Sharjah on Thursday.
The third and final game of the series is expected to be played on schedule on March 12 at the same venue.
