Guwahati: Persistent Rain Disrupts Semifinal Matches Of Nuruddin Ahmed Senior Inter District Cricket Tournament

GUWAHATI: The second day’s play of the Nuruddin Ahmed Senior Inter District Cricket Semifinals was called off on Wednesday due to rain.

Persistent showers during the past couple of days in Guwahati disrupted play as not even a single ball could not be bowled due to unplayable conditions.

The first days action could also not proceed owing to adverse weather conditions and wet ground which continues to play spoilsport in the semi-final stages of this tournament.

The semi final matches will resume tomorrow if the weather conditions permit.

Earlier, heavy downpour had forced the Assam Cricket Association to reschedule the date of both the semi final fixtures in the Nuruddin Ahmed Senior Inter District Cricket Championships. 

As per the schedule, Guwahati is slated to face Tezpur the first semi final encounter set to be held in the ACA Stadium, Barsapara in the city.

NFRSA will lock horns against Tinsukia in the other semi-final clash in Guwahati's Nehru Stadium.

Though the first semifinal tie between Guwahati and Tezpur got under way on June 13, only 19 overs were played as continuous rainfall and wet outfield hindered play.

The final, which will span over 4 days, is scheduled to be played from June 21 and the ACA Stadium was chosen to host the match.
