What promised to be a Super Sunday for Cricket fans, turned out to be a dud day as rain played the role of a spoiler to the hilt in ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 warm-up matches. Both Pakistan vs Bangladesh (Cardiff) and South Africa vs West Indies (Bristol) CWC 2019 practice games had to be abandoned due to rain. It is only natural that fans are blaming England weather for the lack of a game in Pakistan vs Bangladesh contest. But trust Twitter users to come up with strange reasons for any phenomena and this time fans are talking about Zainab Abbas- the popular Pakistani TV presenter. Pakistan vs Bangladesh ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 Warm-Up Match Abandoned Due to Rain.

And while fans kept waiting and praying for the rains to subside so that the Pakistan vs Bangladesh warm-up match could take place, the match had to be called-off as it kept pouring non-stop in Cardiff. South Africa vs West Indies ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 Warm-Up Match Abandoned Due to Rain.
