Australia's cricketers have been given a T20 World Cup boost before even bowling or facing a ball after England's opening match with Scotland was rained off in Barbados after ten overs play.
Both teams take a point from the match, leaving holders England with little margin of error in their remaining group games.
They will also be undercooked when they face Australia in Bridgetown on Saturday (Sunday 5am AEST) after also having two of their four warm-up matches against Pakistan washed off.
