Friday, Nov 7: The highly anticipated England vs Australia Pool B clash at the Hong Kong Sixes 2025 has been called off due to persistent rain at the Mission Road Ground in Mong Kok.
Despite multiple inspections and initial hopes of a shortened contest, the umpires eventually decided to abandon the match after continuous showers made conditions unplayable. The toss had taken place earlier, with Australia opting to bat first, but not a single ball could be bowled.
This is the second washout of the day, as England’s earlier match against UAE also met the same fate. Australia, meanwhile, had a dominating start to their campaign with a convincing win over UAE, chasing down 87 runs in just three overs in their opening fixture.
The weather disruption has disappointed fans who were looking forward to the high-voltage encounter between two of the strongest teams in Pool B. Organizers now hope for clear skies tomorrow as the tournament resumes with crucial matches lined up for the weekend.
