So with this result, Sri Lanka pick up their first point of the World Cup but with only one game remaining for them, their chances of qualifying for the Super-8s look bleak. As for Nepal, they are on 1 point after 2 games, meaning that they can go to 5 at best, keeping their hopes well and truly alive when it comes to reaching the next round of the tournament. There is plenty to play for in Group D with only South Africa in a comfortable position. Anyway, right now, you can catch all the action from the ongoing match in Antigua between Australia and Namibia, right here. This is the pair of Lavil and Bidipto taking your leave. Keep following Sportskeeda!
8:30 pm local time, 6:00 am IST: Unfortunately, the inclement weather has had its say. Despite the efforts of the ground staff to get things ready, the outfield has remained soggy due to the amount of rain we've had today. And the drizzle has been persistent at Lauderhill. The umpires had no choice but to call it off without the toss, meaning that both teams share a point each.
UPDATE: THE GAME HAS BEEN CALLED OFF! Match 23 between Sri Lanka and Nepal has been called off due to poor conditions. There were puddles under the surface in the outfield and the umpires after the inspection have decided that the surface will not drain any time soon. Both teams settle with a point each.
While we wait for the game to get underway, here is a quick poll for you:
8:15 pm local time, 5:45 am IST: The cut-off for a 5-over contest is 10:47 pm local time (8:17 am IST). So, there is plenty of time left for a game. But, the first thing for that is no rain. At the moment there isn't, hopefully, it stays that way so that the ground staff find it easier to dry the outfield.
Sandeep Lamichhane, Nepal's star leg-spinner, is set to join the squad and be available for the final two matches of the group stage! Read on from the link below to know more about it, friends.
8:00 pm local time, 5:30 am IST: We are getting to hear from the ground that an inspection is scheduled at 8:30 pm local time (6:00 am IST). The ground staff are fighting against time to make sure that we get a game. The rain is has stayed away for more than 40 minutes, which is good news. If at all, it has drizzled just a bit.
7:45 pm local time, 5:15 am IST: Not much else that we've heard from the ground. The mopping up work is on and the wait for the toss continues. However, the Nepali fans have thronged the stands in numbers and are making a lot of noise. The news is that they have comfortably outnumbered their Sri Lankan counterparts till now!
