T20 World Cup officials have implemented a drastic rule change with the possibility of rain impacting Sunday’s final.
Thirty years on from their championship match in the 50-over tournament in Melbourne, England and Pakistan will go head to head once again at the iconic Melbourne Cricket Ground. The winner will join West Indies as the second team to win the shortest format’s premier event twice, but everyone will be hoping the match goes ahead without a hitch.
The rain has already impacted this tournament, especially the Afghanistan team who had two matches abandoned as a result. Now the event’s chiefs have made a big change in a bid to save the crunch showdown, should the weather play a part in proceedings this weekend.
