BBL | Rain plays spoilsport in Sydney to abandon encounter between high flying Thunder and Hurricanes

Sydney's ambitious plan of holding the first ever carbon-neutral game in the Big Bash League were washed away by incessant showers at the ENGIE Stadium. The rain began well before the encounter was slated to begin, causing the toss to be delayed well in advance, and it continued pouring practically non-stop for the next hour and a half. When the radar showed more strong showers approachi𓆏ng, the umpires were left with no choice but to call off💞 the game at 8:30 PM local time.

The result puts an end to the four match-winning streak for the Hobart Hurricanes following their loss in the s༒eason opener against the Melbourne Renegades. Sydney Thunder, meanwhile, have also won four✤ games and sit higher in the table with a net run rate of 0.166 but having played a game more than their rivals. However, the no-contest means neither team was able to dislodge the Sydney Sixers from their perch as anticipated, who continue to sit in first with nine points and a net run rate of 0.228 from six games.

Fortunately for fans, there is no such inclement weather predicted in H💛obart on F๊riday, where the teams are slated to meet for the reverse encounter.

And that's it!

LOL!

True that!

Yupe!

Are you seruous??

Ahh???

Hmmm!

Really?
