The WTC Final which was started on June 18, has been disturbed due to the frequent rainfall in Southampton. The low pressure which was formed initially in France, has been shifted to Southern England and has caused rain showers. The Day 1 was abandoned, and there was play possible on Day 2 and Day 3. But, the Day 4 was completely washed out and the decision was taken by umpires around afternoon. The reserve day, which is scheduled on June 23 is likely to be used to get a cricket action, if the weather supports.
