The Melbourne Cricket Ground in Melbourne was all set to host an exciting fixture between England and Australia on Friday (October 28). This was the 26th match of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2022 but rain played a spoilsport as the game was called off.
The two sides were desperate for a win coming into this game. Both England and Australia won one game and lost one. Both sides were looking to grab their second win in the T20 World Cup 2022. However, the weather in Melbourne had other plans as persistent rain washed out the entire fixture without a ball being bowled.
With this result, both England and Australia share a point each and the race to the semi-finals of Group 1 is getting interesting. With both the fixtures washed out, we have four teams with three points each. The top two sides will qualify for the semi-finals and some exciting contests are in store for fans.
