30+ min ago (472+ words) Sydney Thunder general manager Trent Copeland has expressed his disappointment after Friday's WBBL match against the Adelaide Strikers was abandoned with the ladies in lime green on the verge of sealing a crucial win.

Heavy rain hit the venue during the second over of the run chase, but the conditions had seemingly improved when the controversial call was made.
