Australia completely dominated proceedings in the match and were cruising towards a maiden win in this year’s ICC Champions Trophy until rains washed out their hopes. Had they played four more overs, they would have batted 20 overs which means that the D/L method could have been applied. Australia were 83/1 when the two teams left the field which means that they were already above par and would have won the match rught there. This means that Australia have got just two points from their two abandoned matches.
