Bad weather forced the abandonments of the T20 matches between United States and Bangladesh outside Dallas and England vs. Pakistan in Cardiff, Wales, on Tuesday, denting the four teams' preparations for the upcoming World Cup.

Bangladesh's T20 World Cup warm-up match against USA was cancelled due to thunderstorms in Dallas on Tuesday morning. Heavy rain and flood warnings meant that both teams remained in the hotel. The ground suffered some damage as seen on photos shared on social media by those present there this morning.

We all know about the calm before the storm. Well, it seems as if the storm beat the calm to it first today in Texas, as the official T20 World Cup warm-up match between the United States of America and Bangladesh was cancelled due to extreme weather conditions.

Australia’s first Twenty20 World Cup warmup match was played in bizarre circumstances when the team could only field nine squad members instead of the regulation 11 for its game against Namibia.
