IRELAND WERE ELIMINATED from the World Twenty20 after their must-win clash with Bangladesh was washed out and declared a “no result.”
After a shock defeat against Oman in their opening match, John Bracewell’s side knew that they needed a win to keep their hopes alive.
But heavy rain and thunderstorms in Dharamsala forced the match to be abandoned after just eight overs, with Bangladesh on 94/2.
The no result kills Ireland’s already faint hopes of qualifying for the Super 10 stage which begins on Tuesday.
