ENGLAND’S final against Pakistan is threatened by the weather – and that could mean the trophy is SHARED.
The forecast in Melbourne for Sunday and the reserve day on Monday is terrible with a 95 per cent chance of rain and thunderstorms.
Four matches in the Twenty20 World Cup have already been washed out – three of them in Melbourne – and another two decided by the Duckworth-Lewis-Stern method.
Tournament rules for the final state that at least ten overs-a-side are needed to constitute a match.
If the game starts on Sunday and is then rained-off, play will resume on Monday at the same point with the same number of overs. If no play is possible on Sunday, a whole game will be played on Monday.
