The decisive Twenty20 clash between England and Australia in Manchester was washed out due to persistent rain. Despite multiple pitch inspections, umpires determined the conditions unsuitable, calling off the match without a ball being bowled.
Play was initially set to commence at 1330 GMT at Old Trafford. However, ongoing rainfall led to continuous delays, and the match was officially abandoned at around 1520 GMT.
The result left the three-match T20 series tied at 1-1. Focus now shifts to the upcoming five-match One-Day International series, beginning Thursday at Trent Bridge.
