India automatically advance with no play possible Hosts Australia also facing exit if rain in
Sydney persistsEngland’s Twenty20
World Cup campaign ended in disappointing
fashion, without a ball being bowled as persistent rain caused the abandonment of their semi-final against
India in Sydney.
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.
