On a day ruined by rain, England bid adieu to the 2015 World Cup at the Sydney Cricket Ground on a disappointing note. Despite their victory over Afghanistan in the last league match, the mood in the English camp was as dismal as the weather in Sydney on Friday. The Afghanis were asked to bat first after England won the toss but their innings was interrupted by rain off-and-on. The length of the match was first revised to 36.2 overs, in which Afghanistan had scored 111/7. Later unplayable conditions at the SCG made it necessary to further revise the match to 25 overs for England, who had been set to score 101 runs in 25 overs for victory. It could have been worse for England if the match had been washed out. But the weather Gods smiled on England
