Sydney: The much-awaited T20 World Cup match between Australia and England has been called off due to incessant rain. The outfield was covered with cover due to rain. Due to rain and a wet outfield, the toss of this match could not be completed. Earlier, the first match between Ireland and Afghanistan at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) on Friday was also cancelled without a single ball being bowled due to rain.
After starting their campaign with a shock 89-run defeat in the first match against New Zealand, defending champions Australia made a spectacular comeback by defeating Sri Lanka in the second Super 12 match. At the same time, England, who started with a win over Afghanistan, had to face a five-run defeat against Ireland under the Duckworth-Lewis method in the last match due to rain.
Now the match between England and Australia at the Melbourne Cricket Ground has been cancelled due to rain. And because of this, both teams have got one point each. In such a situation, England has now come in second place in the points table of Group 2 of the T20 World Cup, while Australia is in fourth place.
