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

#2 2003 World Cup - Rain knocks out Pakistan and England

The rain decided Pakistan, South Africa, West Indies, and England's fate in WC

Pakistan needed two wins out of the last two games to qualify for the next round. However, a Sachin Tendulkar special resulted in them losing the match against India. The equation now went into the net run-rate calculation as Pakistan's final league match opponent Zimbabwe was also in contention.

The match also kept England interesting as they were in the fray as well. A win for Pakistan meant that Pakistan, England, and Zimbabwe would have equal points and the team with the better net run-rate would take the ticket to Super Sixes.

However, the rain gods seemed to favour Zimbabwe as the rain poured down to abandon the match with only 14 overs of play possible. Zimbabwe qualified at the expense of much-fancied Pakistan and England owing to net-run rate.
