**MANCHESTER, England** – The crucial third Twenty20 match between England and Australia was abandoned without a single ball bowled due to persistent rain at Old Trafford on Sunday. Despite multiple pitch inspections, umpires ultimately decided the match was unplayable, calling it off at around 1520 GMT.
The series, therefore, ends in a 1-1 tie. Australia won the first T20 by 28 runs, while England fought back to claim the second match by three wickets.
Both teams now turn their attention to the upcoming five-match One-Day International series, which commences on Thursday at Trent Bridge.
