The series was canceled and the Kiwi team went home on the same day. Inzamam has said, "We were about to go to play that this incident happened. Most of the players had gone to have breakfast. I was also getting ready that I heard something, but could not understand what happened. All the curtains and windows were broken. I asked the guard what happened, he said that the bomb had exploded. I quickly went to the basement and saw that there are New Zealand players in the swimming pool and they were all crying. These players had never seen such a scene. "
