Heavy rain threatens to play spoilsport when India face New Zealand in their World Cup game at Trent Bridge on Thursday (13 June). The British weather disrupted three matches and things aren’t looking good ahead as well.
While the match between West Indies and South Africa in Southampton was interrupted due to rain and later resulted in a no-result, Bangladesh versus Sri Lanka encounter faced a complete wash-out. The match between Pakistan and Sri Lanka in Briston also faced a similar fate.
According to the local Met department, they have issued a warning for the residents. “A Yellow Warning for rain is in force in the Nottingham area for most of this week,” local website reported.
However, after a full 100-over encounter between Australia and Pakistan on Wednesday in Taunton, hopes of a match without rains could be expected.
