World Cricket League Division Five 5th round

Rain leaves Afghanistan on tenterhooks

Cricinfo staff

May 28, 2008

Heavy rain washed out the sixth day of play in the World Cricket League in Jersey.

Although it would have been possible to reschedule the games to Thursday, the designated rest day, the event technical committee decided to stage the three Group A matches then but not the Group B games. Only the Japan-Singapore fixture, which was washed out on Monday and was re-arranged for Thursday anyway, will go ahead, ensuring that all sides in Group B will have played four matches.

All teams in Group B, as a result of the matches abandoned, were awarded one point each. That will be a relief to Jersey, who as a result go through to the semi-finals, but will be a blow to Afghanistan, who needed to beat Jersey today to guarantee their own place in the last four. They now need Japan, without a win so far, to defeat Singapore, or at least not allow then to win well enough to take their own Net Run Rate past Afghanistan's.

The Group A matches have no major consequence as USA and Nepal, who are pitted against each other, have both already qualified.
