As per the latest updates, three players from each side are said to have tested positive for Covid 19. The official confirmation, however, is yet to come. The interior minister will hold a press conference at 5:00 pm to share the details of the situation.
New Zealand have called off their limited-overs tour of Pakistan because of security concerns.
The tour, comprising three ODIs and five T20Is, was supposed to start today, with the first ODI in Rawalpindi, but neither team left their hotel on the morning of the game, and spectators were not allowed to enter the stadium.
After a period of uncertainty, as details regarding the cause of the delay were awaited, a New Zealand cricket statement was issued, saying, "Following an escalation in the New Zealand Government threat levels for Pakistan, and advice from NZC security advisors on the ground, it has been decided the Blackcaps will not continue with the tour".
The New Zealand contingent in Pakistan is now preparing to leave the country. The NZC, however, said they "will not comment on the details of the security threat nor the updated arrangements for the departing squad".
"I understand this will be a blow for the PCB, who have been wonderful hosts, but player safety is paramount and we believe this is the only responsible option," NZC chief executive David White said in the statement.
The Pakistan Cricket Board, meanwhile, stated they and the government of Pakistan had made "foolproof security arrangements".

Official Result = Yes
Abandoned or No Result = No
Please be aware that this bet will carry over onto any reserve day and will be settled on the official result of the match. If a match is postponed or abandoned for any reason other than weather (which may include but is not limited to: dangerous or unplayable wicket or outfield; pitch vandalism; strike or boycott; crowd protests/violence; floodlight failure; stadium damage; acts of terrorism; and acts of God), Betfair reserves the right to void all bets on this market.
For the avoidance of doubt if a match is decided by a bowl off or coin toss then the market will be settled as NO.
The rules are pretty clear here, this market was always going to be voided

How does that make it clear?
If weather causes power cut will it be void or settled bet? They don't know, they cant give an answer to me.
If weather causes flooded outfield it will be settled even though that clearly conflicts with their void rule "unplayable" outfield - Massive contradiction.
If hurricane cause match abandonment it will be decided at the time by betfair staff! Why? It's 100% a weather affected game.
If weather takes out a floodlight and the match is abandoned - They can't answer.
If weather causes flooding before a ball is bowled - They reserve the right....
Way, way too much ambiguity! They should just make things simple and remove all this nonsense.
Completely match - Yes, No without the bs.
Completed match market is a weather market not a bet on terrorism, pitch vandalism, player death, player injury market
You might think that you've been cheated but you were never getting paid out, so you havent lost anything, just remember it for next time
Betfair are clo0wns, make the rules up as they go along. Get on to ibas and get your monkey ...

Agree Bob, tomtimtum is completely ignoring my words. Even with weather being the reason for abandonment they reserve the right depending on how much they traded in the game. It's criminal and should be looked into.

If you are in betfair and you have the power to void an outcome you will, as we noticed when "yes" hit 1.7 against an hour of tweets to the contrary! They can smash the odds one way and not lose if the outcome is different to their risk. This should be illegal, all ambiguity must be removed to prevent inside trading based on legal ambiguity.
Except there isn't any ambiguity, Betfair was always going to void this market

No they reserve the right to void because they can't cover every possible eventuality in their rules and will have to make judgement calls.
Will these be controversial? Possibly
If you don't like it, don't bet on these markets
and i aint talking about the stringed version
