The Greater Noida Sports Complex Cricket Ground is all set to host the historic game between Afghanistan and New Zealand, marking the first-ever Test match between these two sides. Although Afghanistan’s ace all-rounder Rashid Khan will be missing due to a back operation, New Zealand is arriving with a full-strength team, including captain Tim Southee and Kane Williamson.
The match is significant as it marks the first Test between these two nations, making this encounter even more special. But now, the question is: where to watch the game live in India?
Where to watch Afg vs NZ Test live in India?
Cricket fans can watch the contest live on the FanCode app or website from September 9 to September 13, starting at 9:30 AM. Also, Noida locals can visit the stadium to watch the game in person. However, there will be no live telecast of this game on TV, as no channels have acquired the rights. As mentioned, this game is crucial for both teams, but especially for New Zealand. After the Afghanistan Test, New Zealand will play two Test matches against Sri Lanka, followed by a three-Test series in India.
