In the T20 World Cup 2022 in Australia, it is not only exciting matches and upsets that decide the fate of the teams, but Australia’s dishonest weather is also wreaking havoc. One after the other some important matches have been lost due to rain and in this the most important match was between Australia and England on Friday 28 October. This match in Melbourne was also called off without a ball being bowled and it has created problems for the current world champions and tournament host Australia.
There were two matches to be played in the World Cup on Friday. Both matches were to be played at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, where India defeated Pakistan in a thrilling fashion. It did not rain in that match, but since then the matches in MCG are not being completed. Both Friday’s matches were of Group 1, in which Ireland and Afghanistan were to face first and then there was an Australia-England clash. Both the matches were canceled due to rain and everyone got 1 point each.
Will Australia be out?
After the cancellation of these two matches, the situation in Group-1 has become very interesting, where all the teams have opened their account and New Zealand are in the first place with 3 points (2 matches). At the same time, after Friday’s results, England and Australia also got 3 points each, while Ireland also have 3 points in their account. All these three teams have played 3-3 matches.
But out of these three, the host is Australia in the biggest loss. In fact, Australia is behind every team in this group in terms of net run rate. His NRR is -1.555, while Ireland’s slightly better is -1.169. On the other hand, England is in a better position with 0.239.
In such a situation, if Australia loses another match or its next match is spoiled by rain, then it will be difficult for the world champions to defend their title. However, this result has also given England and Australia a chance as the result of today’s match could have shown the way out for either team. In such a situation, both will hope that they win their remaining matches, so that the road to the semi-finals remains open.
