Why Host World Cup in England Ask Fans as Another Game Washed Out

After Sri Lanka’s second successive game was abandoned due to rain, fans asked why England was even hosting the WC.

A record second game abandoned due to rain after two had already been affected at this ICC World Cup, and Twitter users were left wondering why rainy England was even hosting the quadrennial tournament in the first place.

The Sri Lankans have been the worst-affected team so far. After suffering a 10-wicket loss to New Zealand in their opening match, they beat Afghanistan in a rain-shortened game. Post that, the island nation was forced to split points with Pakistan and then Bangladesh, after both matches were abandoned due to rains.

After Bangladesh and Sri Lanka’s game at Bristol was called off on 11 June, lot of fans took to social media to express their disappointment.

Everywhere in England now raining. Its rainy season there. So why ICC governing body arranged the worldcup tournament this month in England? We cant enjoy real cricket tournament due to moat matches washing out due to rain. #ICCCricketWorldCup2019 #CWC19 pic.twitter.com/lvgr3G42Pc

Another cricket match abondoned.

Poor and mismanagement of World Cup 2019, let the rain play in it's own way.

What was the need of organizing world cup in such huge rainy season?

If it occurs throughout the year, what was the need of handing over the charge, to England?

This world cup the winner would be decided based on the mm of rain that poured down during the match 🤣 Why England at this time of the year out of all places ?!? #WWC2019 #ICCCricketWorldCup2019

Two or three matches have completed been washed out because of Rain. It's the worst World Cup in recent times i think. I have a request to #ICC : Please don't conduct any ICC events in England. Weather in England is so unpredictable all the time. 😠😠 #CWC19 #BANvSL
