Meanwhile, Pakistan captain Sarfaraz Ahmed has said that the "unfortunate" washout will not disturb the momentum generated by their brilliant win against ‘favourites‘ England.
After a humiliating defeat against Windies in their tournament opener, Pakistan bounced back strongly by attaining over England at Trent Bridge in the highest-scoring game of the ongoing tournament.
"As a team we really wanted to play this match especially after gaining momentum with the win against England," Sarfaraz was quoted as saying by ICC media.
"It is unfortunate that we were not able to play. We have great team spirit and our confidence is on a high after beating England. We would want to carry the momentum into the remaining games. We won't relax in our remaining six matches."
Pakistan's next encounter is against five-time defending champions Australia at Taunton, a venue that has a reputation for high-scoring matches in the white-ball formats.
"Like other teams in the tournament, Australia are also a tough opponent," added Sarfaraz, who made his ODI debut as far back as 2007 and featured in the World Cup in Australia and New Zealand four years ago.
"They also have momentum as they have won their first two matches."
