- India through to final after semi-final is washed out
- Australia beat South Africa in second rain-hit semi
England’s Twenty20 World Cup campaign ended without a ball being bowled as persistent rain caused the abandonment of their semi-final against India in Sydney, leading their captain, Heather Knight, to call for the rules to be changed.
ICC regulations dictate that in the event of a semi-final washout, the winners of each group automatically go through to the final in Melbourne on Sunday. England, having finished second to South Africa in their group, are therefore out of the tournament. India, meanwhile, who have had an unbeaten run over the past two weeks, progress to their first T20 World Cup final.
