The match between NZ and SA got abandoned due to the rain. This time the rain has destroyed many matches, earlier Australia got dismissed due to two matches being abandoned and now even the women's ICC world cup is getting affected. Pak too suffered but that was anyways a losing match for them. But hope now the other matches are played and don't get abandoned.
Yeah this year's champions trophy has been gone like gambling bet. There is positive for South Africa and Australia. They both were kicked out because of rain. If rain does not interrupted.
Australia vs India or Australia vs SF only might happened. Pakistan has got the wind on their side in year hope not for next year.
It is true that rain played a major role in the entire tournament but Pakistan played really well to claim the trophy as well as India always played some good cricket to reach the finals,having India and Pakistan in the finals is a big deal for the ICC because of the revenue they could get from it because of the fan base both the team has.
India was not playing well since the start of that game. There was no rain to blame and mostly all looked over confident as they always defeat Pakistan. The team looked unprepared to face the Pak bowlers too and lost by over 180 runs. Now the team looks good to play with WI but they need to keep their momentum going. Losing big matches by 150+ runs is quite embarrassing.
