Afghanistan are out of Melbourne, but still can’t escape the rain. So too England. New Zealand have also been affected.
Unfortunately, there is a possibility that rain will impact one or both of the Afghanistan-Sri Lanka (2pm start) and New Zealand-England (7pm start) matches at the Gabba on November 1. If both matches are washed out, it will have huge ramifications on Group 1, with Australia poised to make the Semi Finals should they beat Ireland and Afghanistan.
Gabba Brisbane weather: 100% chance of rain, but there is hope
A first glance of the Bureau of Meterology’s forecast makes for grim viewing. There is a 100% chance of rain in Brisbane on Tuesday, with anywhere between 15 to 30mm expected. This is particularly frustrating for these four teams and fans, given the weather in Brisbane has been good and is expected to be clear from Wednesday onwards.
However, there is hope. According to bom.gov.au, most of the rain is likely to fall in the morning and early afternoon. Winds of 20 to 30km/h will blow in a northwesterly direction in the early morning, then forecast to turn into a westerly 15 to 25km/h in the late morning. So, there is a chance these winds blow the rain clouds away in time for the first match.
AccuWeather presents a similar picture. The highest chance of precipitation is from 8am to 10am (75%), with a 75% chance of precipitation at 12 midday also. However, by 1pm, the chance of precipitation falls to 25% and then to just 20% by the 2pm start time for AFG-SL. Also, AccuWeather forecasts 0% chance of precipitation by 7pm for ENG-NZ.
The key is that the morning rain does not impact the Gabba playing surface too much. The ground is known for good drainage, so there is hope that both games will go ahead uninterrupted.
