Matches abandoned today due to rain. The Men’s T20 World Cup match between Ireland and Afghanistan was abandoned without a ball being bowled because of rain at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. Afghanistan’s previous <\/span>game against New Zealand was also abandoned<\/span> on Wednesday because of rain at the same venue. England move to second in Group 1, based on their superior net run-rate, while Australia also sit on three points following abandonment; rain also washes out Ireland vs Afghanistan earlier in the day at the same venue. Ireland next face holders and hosts Australia in Brisbane at 08:00 GMT on Monday.<\/span><\/p>\n “It’s very disappointing, we’d played good cricket and were looking forward to this but can’t do much about the weather,” said Ireland captain Andrew Balbirnie. <\/span><\/p>\n “It’ll be like a different country up in Brisbane. We want to push the champions.”<\/span><\/p>\n Afghanistan’s next tie is also in Brisbane, against Sri Lanka at 04:00 GMT on Tuesday.<\/span><\/p>\n “Most of the players are disappointed, not having played on such a fantastic ground [the MCG],” said Afghanistan captain Mohammad Nabi.<\/span><\/p>\n “But the weather is not in our control, so we have to accept it. We look forward to the future games and hope to win.”<\/span><\/p>\n
