Rain hands Pakistan T20 series win over West Indies

Rain hands Pakistan T20 series win over West Indies

PAKISTAN maintained their series winning streak over the West Indies as rain had the final say yet again with the scheduled final encounter of the four-match T20 International series abandoned as a no-result at the National Stadium in Guyana on Tuesday (3).

Just one of the scheduled matches reached a conclusion on the field of play with the tourists defeating the home side by seven runs in the second match on Saturday (31) at the same venue.


Although play started on time in the final match, just three overs were bowled with the pair of Andre Fletcher and Chris Gayle getting the West Indies off to a flying start at 30 without loss.

However, the combination of steady rainfall and an outfield that had already soaked up considerable moisture in the preceding two days meant another lengthy delay.

There were hopes of playing a match reduced to nine overs per side, but just as the action was about to resume, a drizzle arrived which developed into showers and ended any hope the home side had of squeezing out a victory to level the series.

Attention now shifts to the two-Test series with both matches to be played at Sabina Park in Kingston, Jamaica, starting August 12.

Could a £400 plug-in solar panel cut your energy bills by £110 a year?

  • Plug-in solar panels will go on sale in the UK from August 27 following a legal change.
  • The DIY systems are expected to cost from around £400 and could save households up to £110 a year.
  • Retailers including Currys, B&Q and Asda are expected to stock the products.

A £400 plug-in solar panel could soon offer some UK households a simpler way to cut their energy bills, after the government cleared the way for DIY solar systems to go on sale later this summer.

From August 27, households will be able to buy plug-in solar panels that connect directly to a standard three-pin socket, removing the need for professional installation. The change is expected to make home solar power available to many renters, flat owners and people without suitable rooftops, who have largely been excluded from traditional rooftop solar.
