Hello and a very warm welcome to game 23 where Sri Lanka and Nepal would be hoping to open their account in the tournament. Sri Lanka lost both their games so far and a loss/no-result today could take them that much closer to the exit door. Nepal, on the other hand, lost their opening game to Netherlands and would be keen to turn things around today. The weather hasn't been great in Lauderhill, and that's not a great sign to kick-off the Florida leg. Let's hope we got a thriller of a contest in our hands...
The latest from Cameron is also pretty dire reading I'm afraid: Almost no chance of cricket this evening. Latest we can start is 10:48 for a five over match, but that means we basically need it to stop raining by 9 so the ground staff can start clearing it up.
Eli: "Hate to bring bad news, but it has rained over 2 inches today in the Lauderhill area due to a tropical disturbance in the eastern Gulf of Mexico. A flash flood warning has just expired for the area and there is a chance the rain could stop around 11pm but between the cutoff time and rain received today, this game is not getting played. And with plenty more rain to come this week, Friday's USA-Ireland game is in doubt, which is good news for USA and bad news for Ireland and Pakistan."
If the game does not indeed go ahead, here are the current qualification scenarios as they stand. Shared points here means Sri Lanka are virtually out of the tournament, they will now need to beat Netherlands in their next game and hope Bangladesh lose to both Nepal and Netherlands. As for Nepal, wins against South Africa and Bangladesh, along with Netherlands losing their next two, will see them through.
