Matthew Mott has said the lack of a reserve day for England’s T20 World Cup semi-final against India on Thursday would not happen in an ideal world and called on the International Cricket Council to remedy the issue for further tournaments. In the event of a washout – a 10-overs per side match is required for a result in the knockout stages – India would play in Saturday’s final by virtue of topping their Super Eight group. Mott, who said the only forecasters to be accurate so far on tour were a couple of Phil Salt’s “surfer friends” in Barbados, would sooner have an extra day.
Kimber hit 21 sixes and reached his double century from 100 balls.
