Pakistan Register Bizarre Record Despite Washout Against New Zealand In T20 World Cup

In a disappointing start to the T20 World Cup 2026 Super Eight stage, Pakistan's opening match against New Zealand was abandoned due to heavy rainfall in Colombo. This unfortunate event marked a significant milestone for Pakistan, as they now hold the record for the highest number of abandoned matches in T20 history. The match was eagerly anticipated, with both teams looking to make a strong impression in the tournament. However, the persistent rain disrupted the play, leaving fans and players alike frustrated. This incident adds to the ongoing discussions about weather disruptions affecting cricketing events, particularly in regions prone to unpredictable monsoon conditions. Pakistan's cricketing history has seen its fair share of rain-affected matches, but this latest record raises questions about the scheduling and venue selection for major international tournaments. As the tournament progresses, both teams will be eager to bounce back and secure crucial points in their subsequent fixtures, hoping for clearer skies in the matches ahead.
