T20 World Cup: Updated Group 1 Points Table After Afghanistan vs New Zealand Game Gets Washed Out

Rain played a huge part in both the T20 World Cup matches on Wednesday. In the first game, Ireland won by five runs over England via DLS method, after rain played a spoilsport during the Super 12 clash at the Melbourne Stadium on Wednesday. The second match between Afghanistan and New Zealand was also scheduled to be held in the same stadium but got washed out without a ball being bowled due to rain.
