Criticism against the International Cricket Council as rain disrupts matches in the Cricket World Cup. The ICC has to answer the question why the Marvel Stadium, which is the venue for the Big Bash, was not made the venue for the match.
Rain continues to play a role in the Twenty20 World Cup over the hopes of the teams and the prayers of the fans. In Super 12, four out of 14 matches were abandoned. The venue for all 3 matches was the Melbourne Cricket Ground. While the historic Melbourne Stadium is drenched in rain, there is another empty stadium next door. As the name suggests, Marvel Stadium is full of surprises. The rain and sun covered stadium is a multi-purpose stadium that hosts only 12 international matches and last played cricket in Marvel in 2006.
Marvel is a multipurpose stadium that can be used for cricket, football, basketball, boxing, art shows and anything else. In the ODI World Cup hosted by Australia in 2015, only two matches were interrupted due to rain. This year’s Twenty20 World Cup also has the reputation of abandoning more matches due to rain. It is estimated that Melbourne has received more rain in a week than the average rainfall expected in the month of October. Melbourne has one more match left in the Super 12 round; India will face Zimbabwe on November 6 in Melbourne.
