In a significant development, the fourth match of Women's Big Bash League (WBBL) has been suspended because of heavy drizzle in Melbourne. Notably, host Melbourne Stars locked horns against Adelaide Strikers at the Junction Oval and the rain interrupted play in the fifth over of the match.
The match was well poised with the visitors batting on 32/1 after 4.2 overs, which is when the umpires signalled the groundsman to cover the field as rain got heavier with each passing second. At the moment, the ground is covered and the players are waiting for the rain to stop and play to resume.
Meanwhile, this article will shed light on the weather updates and whether the rain will abandon play between Adelaide Strikers and Melbourne Stars.

The weather does not look promising at the moment in Melbourne as CREX reported that the drizzle has gotten heavier and it is absolutely pelting down at the moment. Further, there is 99% cloud cover predicted and 90% probability of rain. Further, occasional rain and drizzle is expected.
Thus, it is expected to be a long delay, but courtesy of a great drainage system, the match can resume early, but drizzle at regular interval is expected and overs too might be lost in this process.
