Pakistan, NZ Cricket Teams Observe Two Minute Silence..Ahmed Shehzad Looks To Be - http://t.co/VZBEClgapb via @DailymotionIND
— Sarmad Salim (@sarmadsalim123) December 18, 2014The world is still in mourning after the Taliban gunmen opened fire in the army school in Peshwar on Tuesday.
There was uncertainty over whether the match would be played following the attack by Taliban gunmen on a school in Peshawar on Tuesday that killed at least 132 students.
It eventually got underway with players and match officials wearing black armbands and observing two minutes' silence at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium.
While there were requests from some of the Pakistan team members to postpone the game, Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) said they could not do so.
The press release from PCB said, "We tried our best to postpone the 4th ODI but were constrained by the Broadcasters commitment as well as for cricketing reasons advised by the New Zealand management"
The PCB though said the match gate money would go to the families of the dead and for the rebuilding of the school.
