What happens if England vs Sri Lanka T20 World Cup match is called off?

The T20 World Cup is in a spot because it is likely to rain in Pallekele today when England plays Sri Lanka. If it rains and the match is called off it will be a problem for the tournament.

This is because there was no result in the match between New Zealand and Pakistan and if there is no result in this match too it will be very hard to figure out the points table.

The Pallekele International Cricket Stadium is covered with clouds and this is a big worry for the T20 World Cup.

After the match between Pakistan and New Zealand was called off because of rain everyone is now looking at the sky in Kandy.

If the match between England and Sri Lanka is also called off the Super 8 stage will be decided by the points table and not by the matches on the field.

If the match is called off both England and Sri Lanka will get one point each.

This means that there will be a tie between four teams in Group 2 including Pakistan and New Zealand who also have one point each.

This will make things very tough for the teams. They will have to change their strategy for the remaining matches.

Every match will be like a knockout match. There will be no room for mistakes because there are no reserve days in the Super 8s.

The situation is getting more and more complicated.

According to the ICC rules if all the matches in the Super 8 stage are called off because of rain the teams that will go to the semi-finals will be decided by their rankings before the tournament started.

If all the matches in Group 2 are called off England and New Zealand will go to the semi-finals because they are ranked higher.

Sri Lanka and Pakistan will be out of the tournament without playing a match in the Super 8s.

This will be a loss for the broadcaster, JioStar.

If a match is called off the broadcaster loses a lot of money around Rs 150 crore because they cannot show ads during the match.

The broadcaster also has to shift the ads to matches, which means they will have too many ads to show during the semi-finals and finals.

This will reduce the price of the ads. The broadcaster will lose even more money.

The match between England and Sri Lanka is very important.

If the match is called off it will be like a loss, for Sri Lanka because they have a lower ranking and will have to win all their next matches.
