Rain Halts USA from Extending Lead against Canada and Netherlands. The highly anticipated ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup League 2 encounter between Canada and the Netherlands was called off owing to unfavourable weather. The no-result game has left Canada sitting in second position with 17 points, while the United States remain at the top of the table on 22 points.
The washout is a blow to both sets of players, and especially to Canada, who were hoping to narrow the gap between themselves and the USA and boost their qualification chances. The Netherlands, however, are left in a sensitive spot, requiring winning results in the games they have left to maintain hope in the competition.
With World Cup qualification hanging in the balance, the battle for the top places in League 2 is getting intense. The USA’s consistent performances have kept them at the top, but Canada and other rivals still have chances to win key victories in coming games.
As the competition unfolds, teams will be looking for bluer skies and improved conditions to demonstrate their skill on the pitch. The public is eagerly looking forward to the next matches as the fight for Cricket World Cup qualification hots up.
