For this reason, it has suffered more due to rain. Sri Lanka, England, Ireland and Australia have 2 points each in this group. The outcome of this match is good news for all the other teams.
Afghanistan open account
Afghanistan has also lost the account due to the cancellation of the match. He has got a point. Afghanistan have been doing well in the last few years but playing in Australia is completely different. The strength of the team is spin bowling but in Australia the magic of Paes works. In the first match, the Afghan team was bowled out for just 112 runs against England. Even in the practice match against Pakistan, its batsmen were struggling in front of the new ball.
The match between South Africa and Zimbabwe was also inconclusive.
Earlier, the match between South Africa and Zimbabwe was also inconclusive due to rain. South Africa’s victory in that match of Super-12’s Group-2 seemed certain. He had a target to score 80 runs in 9 overs. The team had scored 51 runs in 3 overs. But then the rain didn’t stop. South Africa would have won even if the match had been of 5 overs, as the team had gone beyond the score of 5 overs.
