Preview: Group 1 of the super 12 stage at the T20 World Cup was always a tense group with multiple equally talented teams pooled together. The group became more rigorous with Sri Lanka’s qualification to that group. In spite of the strong teams pooled together, England and Australia were considered to be favourites to qualify from the group. However, after a couple of matches in the super 12 stage and with Australia’s and England’s defeats to New Zealand and Ireland, the group is wide open for assumptions. And hence, the situation after each team having played two games is that this match proves to be of utmost importance in their individual chances of qualification. A match that was expected to decide the number one and two sides from the group, might now prove to be an eliminator as the loser’s semi-final hopes will be severely dented.

England vs Australia
The rain has once again played spoilsport and the encounter between Australia and England has been called off. The two sides will share the points
Oh no! It has started to rain again in Melbourne. It’s highly possible that the game would be called off. We are still to get official words on this though
We will have to wait. The next inspection will now take place at 20:50 Local Time. There is no rain but we will have to see if the ground gets ready on time
Update from Melbourne 🏟

Toss continues to be delayed due to wet outfield. Umpires will carry another round of inspection at 8:15 pm local time (around 30 mins later).#T20WorldCup | #AUSvENG pic.twitter.com/IvfqZxPgcB
And the wait GOES ON! The umpires had a closer look and a chat with the captains. There is another inspection scheduled for 20:15 PM Local Time
How important this game is for England as far as the points table is concerned. Their defeat against Ireland have pushed them on the back foot
There is some positive news finally. The run-up covers are coming off as the rain has stopped. The main covers stay on though. The outfield is quite wet
It's very wet here in Melbourne ☔

It would be interesting to see as to who keeps wickets if Matthew Wade who tested positive for COVID-19 is not included in the XI
The cut-off time for a 5-over game is 4:16 PM (IST). We just hope, we don’t have to wait till then and the game gets underway soon
The toss has been delayed in Melbourne. This is actually frustrating now. We are all set to have another rain-affected game in the tournament
The rain hasn’t cleared and the covers are still on at the MCG. It isn’t looking good at the moment. Another rain-curtailed game is on the cards. The next inspection will take place in an hour’s time
Well, we all want to watch a full game between these two arch-rivals but the forecast isn’t looking really good. If in case this game is washed away, then the qualification scenarios will become more complicated
The first match at MCG between Ireland and Afghanistan was washed away due to rain without a ball being bowled. Let’s hope that we have the second match as per schedule
