Afghanistan have been rained out at the MCG for the second time in three days, with their T20 World Cup match against Ireland abandoned.
Persistent rain meant Friday afternoon's game was called off 90 minutes after it was due to start.
Afghanistan's match against New Zealand was also washed out without a ball being bowled.
Afghanistan and Ireland gained a point apiece.
The Australia-England blockbuster is due to start at 7pm (AEDT), more than two hours after the Afghanistan-Ireland game was abandoned, and it is unclear whether the night game will go ahead.
