New Delhi, Nov 13: The playing duration for the final between Pakistan and England at the Melbourne Cricket Ground on Sunday, November 13, has been further extended by the 2022 ICC T20 World Cup organisers.
The tournament organisers were able to extend the showdown’s legal operation hours due to the potential for rain during the final. There will now be an extra hour of time for the game to be held on Sunday, according to the ICC.
Even though it was sunny when the players arrived in Melbourne on Sunday morning, clouds have already begun to gather before the game’s scheduled first ball at 7 PM local time (1:30 PM IST). There have been attempts to finish the match on Sunday, but more time was added to finish it on reserve day (Monday, November 14).
The final will resume on Monday at the point where the last ball was played if it is not finished on Sunday.
Additionally, after consulting with ICC Match Referee Ranjan Madugalle, the umpires must immediately suspend play, refuse to allow play to begin, or allow play to resume if they determine that the ground, weather, light, or any other circumstance is dangerous or unreasonable.
Match commences: 7.00 PM
1st Innings: 7.00-8.28 PM
Innings Break: 8.28-8.48 PM
2nd Innings: 8:48-10:30 PM
Additional time available: 10:30 PM – 12:00 AM
