Champions Trophy: Rain curtails India-England final to 24 overs per side

BIRMINGHAM: The Champions Trophy final between England and India at Edgbaston was scheduled to start at 8.50 p.m (IST) on Sunday after more than five hours play was lost to rain.

Scorecard

The match has been reduced to 20 overs a side and India will bat first after England captain Alastair Cook won the toss.

Both teams need to bat for 20 overs to constitute a match and, with no reserve day scheduled, the trophy will be shared if no result is possible.

The rain began to fall as the players sang the national anthems immediately before the scheduled start time of 10.30 a.m.
