Tuesday started badly for India fans: heavy rain in Hamilton washed out the 3rd ODI against New Zealand without a ball bowled. The main action now is in Rawalpindi, where Pakistan resume on 281/5 against Sri Lanka on Day 2. Monday also brought two big draws, in Sylhet and in Sharjah, where Zimbabwe made Test history.
Today’s Matches
Sri Lanka tour of Pakistan – 1st Test (ICC World Test Championship)
| Match | Format | AST | IST | PKT | Venue |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pakistan vs Sri Lanka – Day 2 of 5 | Test | 07:30 (live now) | 10:00 | 09:30 | Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium, Rawalpindi |
Status: Pakistan began the day on 281/5 with Saud Shakeel (57*) and Ghazi Ghori (7*) at the crease. Sri Lanka need quick wickets to keep the total under control, while Pakistan will want Shakeel to turn his fifty into a big hundred. Arafat Minhas, Razaullah, Mohammad Abbas and Saqib Khan are still to bat.
India tour of New Zealand – 3rd ODI
| Match | Format | AST | IST | PKT | Venue |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| New Zealand vs India – 3rd ODI | ODI | 05:00 (scheduled) | 07:30 | 07:00 | Seddon Park, Hamilton |
Status: Abandoned due to rain, no ball bowled. The start was pushed back several times and the game was cut to 40 overs a side. Shubman Gill won the toss and chose to bowl, but the rain came back straight away and conditions never improved. India still lead the five-match series 2-0, after wins in Auckland and Wellington, so New Zealand can no longer win the series.

Highlights
We could not confirm official highlights videos for Monday’s matches, so here is a short recap.
Sylhet: West Indies added 53 runs in the morning and declared on 398/6, with Kavem Hodge out for a career-best 142. Chasing 369, Bangladesh were never really in the hunt but batted well enough to save the match. Towhid Hridoy (82) and Mushfiqur Rahim (49) shared a century stand, and Mushfiqur passed 7,000 Test runs. Bad light ended the game with Bangladesh on 184/4. Jomel Warrican picked up his 100th Test wicket when he bowled Hridoy and finished as Player of the Series with 16 wickets. West Indies had won the first Test in Mirpur by eight wickets.
Sharjah: Zimbabwe batted through the final day and finished on 523/5. Craig Ervine made an unbeaten 206 and Wessly Madhevere hit his maiden Test hundred, 100 not out, in an unbroken sixth-wicket stand of 208. With 504 in the first innings, Zimbabwe became the first team in Test history to score 500 or more in both innings of a match. The second Test starts in Sharjah on Friday, 13 November.
Rawalpindi: Sri Lanka won the toss and bowled, but four Pakistan batters reached fifty. Debutants Tayyab Arif (57 off 51 balls) and Mohammad Taha (51) both impressed, Babar Azam made 50 and Saud Shakeel was 57 not out when bad light stopped play. Asitha Fernando was the best of the Sri Lankan bowlers with 2/64.
