NEW DELHI: England captain Heather Knight couldn’t hide her frustration as she threw her bat down when the umpires halted play during the team’s second T20I against Australia on Thursday. Knight, who was anchoring England’s chase of 186 runs in 20 overs, was forced to leave the field due to rain, just as she seemed poised to take the match to the wire.
Clearly irritated by the decision, Knight’s reaction reflected her determination to see the chase through. At the time play was stopped, England were 168/4 in 19.1 overs, trailing the par score by just six runs under the DLS method.
