Latest forecast for England vs West Indies third ODI in London: What's the current rain forecast?
Get ready for some crappy weather, folks! It seems rain is set to dampen the spirit of the third England-West Indies ODI today, June 3, at London. Here's the lowdown on the rainy day ahead.
The initial game start was delayed due to heavy traffic that held up the West Indies team bus. The England team, on the other hand, arrived on bikes since road closures were a hassle. This delay meant that the toss was delayed, and the match kicked off at 1.30 pm local time, a half-hour delay from the scheduled start.
With showers forecasted throughout the day, additional delays might be in the cards. Even though England has already clinched the series 2-0, this third game holds considerable importance for both teams. They're both fighting tooth and nail for a direct spot in the 2027 ODI World Cup. England and the West Indies currently occupy the eighth and ninth positions in the ICC men's ODI rankings. Since only eight teams (excluding South Africa and Zimbabwe) are granted direct entry into the World Cup, a win here is oh so crucial.
Weather updates for the match
