Akram, who is in Florida to commentate during the aforementioned clash, shared that the chances of rain were low but the outfield was wet.
“Clear skies in Port Lauderdale but outfield is quite wet. Let’s hope for the best,” wrote Wasim as he shared a picture of Central Broward Park Stadium in Lauderhill, Florida on his social media handles.
