Netizens have just one word for England after T20 WC semi-final washout vs India - 'KARMA'

Rain has played a major spoilsport in the world of cricket over the past year and it has essentially impacted two teams in a very significant manner - India and England. The rain-marred ODI World Cup in 2019 had reserve days for the semi-finals unlike the Women's T20 World cup - a decision that threw England out of the race as the semi-final against India was washed out. As England were knocked out without even playing a single delivery, netizens took to poke fun at the side, citing that 'Karma' had returned the favour to the same side that had won the Men's World Cup owing to the boundary count rule.
