A highly anticipated clash between Australia and England at the MCG was abandoned without a ball being bowled because of rain on Friday.
It was the second match of the day after Ireland vs Afghanistan to be washed out at the MCG and means all four sides take a point each in their hunt for a place in the semi-finals.
New Zealand lead Group 1 on three points – the same as England, Ireland and Australia, but the Black Caps have a better net run rate and have played a game less.
WIN: Braai kit, signed bat and signed jersey
Sri Lanka and Afghanistan have two points. The top two will reach the semi-finals.
Four matches have now been rained off at the tournament in Australia.
