ICC World T20 2016 qualifiers: Ireland vs Bangladesh washed out due to rain

So that is that from us here at Sportskeeda. A day when rain consumed both Netherlands and Ireland. Will see you tomorrow hopefully on a much brighter day. Goodbye.

With even the Netherlands vs Oman match being washed out earlier today, the Bangladesh vs Oman match on Sunday is a knockout now. The winner goes to the Super 10.

Tamim Iqbal was the lone bright spot in anotherwise damp and morose day. Bangladesh will now lock horns with Oman and the winner will qualify for the Super-10.

Not a good tournament for the contingent from Europe. Scotland, Netherlands and now Ireland will be back home.

Bangladesh move to top of the table. Ireland unfortunately ousted from the tournament.

It is now official: The Match has been called off!

Any chances of getting play underway is being washed away by the minute..

Live visuals show the rain teeming down.. Porterfield is looking on helpless...

If the match is further truncated, Ireland will need 72 runs of 5 overs.. provided the rain stops...

For any calculation to fit into the scheme of things, the rain has to stop, which is not the case right now!

If Bangladesh do not resume their innings, Ireland's target will be 108 in eight overs.

If the match does resume, a revised DLS taret might just favour the Irish...

Rain is pelting down again.. and the covers are back in place.. quite a thankless job for the groundstaff this...

And with that flashes of Lightning are seen across the field.. The umpires have called for the covers.. and play has been stopped once again
