Women’s World Cup: New Zealand-Pakistan clash reduced to 46 overs per side contest due to rain

The Women’s World Cup match between New Zealand and Pakistan was on Saturday reduced to a 46-over-per-side contest due to a long rain interruption here.

The rains had stopped the proceedings shortly before 4:00pm local time and the umpires were forced to cut the number of overs as play could only be resumed at 5:35pm local time.

Pakistan, who made a positive start to the contest, slipped from 30 for no loss to 52 for three in 12.2 overs when it began raining.
