Heavy rain has forced organisers to postpone the FIM Tobet Speedway World Cup final in Poland on Saturday evening.

The meet will now start at 11am local time (10am BST) in Leszno on Sunday morning and will be shown live on Sky Sports 2.

Team Great Britain fell just short of qualifying for the final in mid-week, and so it is Australia and Sweden that will take on Russia and hosts Poland for the title.

BSI Speedway managing director Paul Bellamy said: "It is such a shame but we were in the lap of the gods.

"The forecast is for the rain to clear overnight so we will be running the meeting at 11am tomorrow."
