Unfortunately, the news from Colombo is not good. The entire ground has been covered as it has started to rain again. Stay tuned for the real-time updates of the match.

It's not raining heavily in Colombo but it's like a constant drizzle, which has kept the covers still on and the fans waiting. Stay tuned with us for the real-time updates of the all-important super eight encounter.

The rain gates are still open and the covers are still on at the R.Premadasa Stadium in Colombo. It's 8:10 PM IST and from now on the reduction in overs will start, while the cut-off time for a five-over match is 10:16 PM IST.

There is tension and worry in the looks of Pakistan captain Salman Agha and head coach Mike Hesson as they stare down the ground with rain getting more intense.

The rain is constantly pouring down relentlessly in Colombo and the weather is predicted to be the same for now.

The confirmation has arrived and the match has been abandoned due to the extreme weather conditions. Pakistan and New Zealand will share one point each. Both have surely missed a chance to become early contenders for the semi-finals.

Pakistan will head to Kandy for their remaining fixtures, facing England on Tuesday (Feb 24) followed by a clash against Sri Lanka on Saturday (Feb 28). Both of these games are scheduled to begin at 7:00 PM (IST) at the Pallekele International Cricket Stadium.

New Zealand will remain in Colombo for the rest of their Super 8 campaign. They are set to take on Sri Lanka on Wednesday (Feb 25) and will finish their group stage matches against England on Friday (Feb 27). Both matches will be played under the lights at the R. Premadasa Stadium with a 7:00 PM IST start time.
