Australia managed to perform exactly as they planned against England. Australia managed to score 162 runs against England in the first 20 overs with eight wickets in hand and when it rained at the end of the 20 overs and there was no sign of the rain stopping, the umpire decided the result of the match in favor of Australia. That is, Australia won the last t20 match against England by 49 runs to defeat England by 3-2 in the series
This is getting ridiculous, ICC should definitely do something about this rain situation. Big and important matches are getting decided by the DLS method. This is a method which I think is not the best suited in this day and age. I think it is better to just keep a reserved date if there is rain. But I guess when one innings has already been played, you cannot do much. Just think about it. Chasing 310 in 50 overs with 10 wickets in hand is a lot harder compared to chasing 117 in 20 overs with 10 wickets in hand.
I guess I am just a little annoyed to see that a match which is decider is being played in this way. I don’t know if other people will agree but I definitely think that the DLS method takes away the competitive integrity from certain matches.
