7 instances when rain changed the fate of matches in ICC tournaments

#3 2013 Champions Trophy - A 20-over final for a 50-over tournament

Indians were better equipped to quickly adapt to a T20 game

The schedule for the 2013 Champions Trophy irked many teams as it was placed between a bilateral series involving England and New Zealand. Hence, it was a short tournament and there weren't any reserve days for the knockout games.

On the final day of the summit clash, it was pouring down at Edgbaston and it seemed that the match would be cancelled without a ball being bowled. Social media blasted the technical committee for their glitch in scheduling.

The final was scheduled on Sunday and the reason for the non-allotment of a reserve day was because of a previously scheduled ODI between New Zealand and England on Tuesday as per their bilateral assignment.

In order to avoid a complete washout, ICC extended the cut-off time and hence a 20-over final was planned to decide the winner of a 50-over tournament. Batting first, India put up just 129 from 20 overs until a fine show of bowling from Ravindra Jadeja, Ravi Ashwin and Ishant Sharma saw India restrict England to 124/8 and register a five-run win.
