Washout denies England whitewash
Saturday, 15 October 2022
CANBERRA, Oct 14 (AFP): England were denied a clean sweep of their T20 series against Australia when persistent rain forced the third match to be abandoned in Canberra on Friday.
Needing 130 to win from 12 overs, Australia were 30-3 from 3.5 overs when rain forced the players from the field for the third and final time.
England captain Jos Buttler said his team was building up well to the T20 World Cup, after winning the three-match series 2-0.
"We made some good strides in Pakistan and we came here (Australia) and continued that form," Buttler said.
It was a disappointing end to the match, the last official game for both teams before the World Cup, which starts on October 22.
