LAHORE, Nov 09 (APP):Bad weather spoiled the opening day of the second-round matches of National U19 Three-Day Tournament here on Monday as not a single ball was delivered at the LCCA Ground, in the match between Balochistan and Southern Punjab.
At Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore, only five overs of action took place between Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Sindh where Khyber Pakhtunkhwa after being put to bat scored seven for the loss of one wicket.
The decision to pause the action was taken to ensure health and safety of the teenage cricketers.
