T20 World Cup

Archer and Wood won’t be able to bowl as they’ve already done 2 each

Rashid will have two.

Rashid smacked for 6 1st ball

Adil took a bit of a hammering there

Rashid will have two.

Hope the 2nd one is better

109 to win. 11 an over . Tricky assuming that it stays dry

Yes very tricky, with only a 3 over power play too.

 

[Wizard]

Well it looks like we’ll never know. Rain hammering down now

 

[Wizard]

Match abandoned. Real shame that, could have been a fun run chase

What is DLS

Method for calculating a “par” score when rain affects the scheduled number of overs

Named after the inventors Duckworth and Lewis and then later Stern tweaked it as it threw up too big an anomaly (IIRC there was a farce of England needing 21 runs off a single ball)

Ireland struggling very badly early on. I know that India's bowlers are excellent but so far in this world cup the tracks have been very bowler friendly

 

[jazzy]

This pitch is difficult, the Indian bowlers good but the Ireland batting display is absolutely pathetic.

 

[summerisle]

Ireland 49-7.
