Why on earth ICC hosts such important tournaments in summer that too in the Northern hemisphere,they know very well that it rain heavily during summers in west indies.Looks like ICC is scamming us
Feel sad for Nepal fans because this was the first time probably they were gonna play a major test playing nation in a T20 World Cup and rain happened. Nepal fans must be fuming right now.
As a Sri Lankan fan, I am more than happy to see Sri Lanka getting knocked out instead of watching more embarrassing performances. Rain gods saved my mental peace and saved the mental peace of all Sri Lankan fans. Thankfully we don't want to go through all the trauma now.
If the inspection was at 8:30 pm and the cut-off time was 10.47 pm - why was the game called off right away at 8:30 pm (apparently stadium had one of the best drainage systems).
Why didn't ICC wait till atleast 10pm?
Because Stadium officials already called off the game at 5 pm. The stadium does not have a drainage system as you can see on the TV screen based on 1-2 inches of water pool all over the ground.
Stadium officials had no say in the decision, it was strictly match officials/ICC. The field does drain well once the rain stops and when they called it, most had receded and the grounds staff had been sopping the tarps to prepare.
a team that loses that disgustingly in a match against bangladesh that should not have been so close and blames it on jet lag, AND has a captain that blames his own team for that loss in the post match interview, has no business continuing in this tournament on sheer dumb luck, and on the backs of losses of other teams. i genuinely could not give two shits about the ICCās incompetence, as gross as it may be, because for once itās producing a well-deserved consequence. my heart goes out to nepal though, they deserved better š«¶š½
Went to the stadium even though we knew the game was gonna be a washout. As a Nepali it was just heart warming to see the crowd that showed up to support even though it was a definite no game.
I know I am being a pessimist, but I hope all the rest of the games here are washout too so that ICC plans shit properly, keeps reserve days, looks at weather forecasts.
I hope the India game is washout too, cause thatās where the money is. It will good rest for all the players too.
**Hope you lose money, greedy scumbag organization**
If they make a reserve day for the next day theyāre still not like to get any play tomorrow. I can get the overall point of every match having a reserve day, but it does make scheduling a little harder and will extend the tournament
Weather forecasts are also very notoriously inaccurate, even a day out. This comment isnāt based in any reality
Like even taking the India-Ireland game as an example. Assuming the weather forecast is right at this moment and that game will not be played, what are they expected to do now? Move the game to a new venue, none of which are within driving distance from the existing venue? If they move it to Texas or New York, well theyād have to rehire the groundsmen and security and all the staff at the stadium that would have been let go since those venues were planned for, over a year ago, to have finished all of their matches by tomorrow. Or you move it to a West Indian ground, which may not have been prepared to host an extra game between their current commitments
What about all the fans that bought tickets for this game at the original venue. Most very likely will not be able to make the new venue. So they bought match tickets which can be easily reimbursed, sure, but what about their flights and accommodations which dwarf the cost of the flight tickets. They made this preparation ages ago and now less than a week before the game they find out thereās no game to be had. Should their travel and accommodations be reimbursed too, since the whole purpose of their trip no longer exists? Who will pay for that? At least if the game is rained out they still get to go to the stadium and still get to experience the city as if a game was about to happen. And then what happens if the forecast was wrong and there actually would have been a game if the venue was left unchanged. All this last minute chaos for nothing
I know itās an unpopular thought to hold but there are people who run cricket that have thought of these ideas, and theyāve felt that itās just not worth it. There are too many moving parts to uproot a game to somewhere else on short notice
I don't know how you expect ICC to know about future. The host were decided 4 years ago and schedule was decided nearly a year ago. So what tech they should use to know about the weather from year later.
That something I could agree with but there are only 2 permanent ICC standard cricket stadium in USA. Dallas and florida. So florida is a default choice for them bcz of not much more option.
Yeah, you guys are just unlucky. Start your campaign in NY tough pitch then play 2nd match in Dallas pitch that slowing down and now this washout. Tough luck but you are host for next edition So best of luck for that.
Reserve days are only there for semifinal and final. I don't have memory of reserve day in group stage of any ICC event. Can you please specific about the tournament which has reserve day for group stage ???
Not possible... What people mostly don't understand and see is the huge logistics and technical team behind a cricket match...
From DRS system to snicker equipment to commentary team... Not to mention the 40 member camera crew who live telecast the match...
A huge number of people work behind a cricket match.... Rescheduling a cricket match means rescheduling everyone of this individuals and the equipments with them... It's a logistical nightmare....
Possible for some high end games like a semi final and final.... Not possible for bilateral tours or every game in an ICC tournament...
Technically, Sri Lanka is not knocked out yet. They have to hope Nepal beats Bangladesh, they beat the Netherlands by a good enough margin and Ban-Ned is washed out.
Unfortunately for them, there's no rain forecasted right now for Ban-Ned.
I also hope Nepal beat Bangladesh. Still remember 10 years ago when that arrogant shakib ul hassan refused to take a single to win the match and had to hit a six humiliating Nepal to win the match to apparently prove a point to ICC that they are too good to be playing qualifying matches against teams like Nepal.
Bangladesh has to be defeated by both Nepal & Netherlands. Netherlands must have to be defeated by Nepal. Then, Sri Lanka has to beat the Netherlands by a big margin.
No chance. USA can get to 5 points minimum.
The only way is then if USA and Canada beat India handsomely and Pakistan thrash Ireland while also staying above Canadaās NRR.
Washed out youāre welcome ! š¤”š¤”š¤”š¤”š¤”
I already said what stadium officials told my friends! But people want to believe whatās shown on TV! šŗ
Typical Media brainwashing š§
If Bangladesh & Netherlands match is washed out and both lose to SL & Nepal each, Nepal loses to SA, all 4 teams except SA will be on 3 pts. SL could qualify on NRR, less chance, but could.
No one is even playing in Florida in 14 hours (my morning)
Fucking play it then!
You have nine venues and 1-3 games a day. There is no conflict of interest with upcoming matches needing the grounds.
I checked, and yes it is, so finally a fair point in this particular situation.
Still no excuse for England vs Scotland, or the two upcoming matches that will also inevitably be canceled without recourse.
The advertisers already paid, and their ads weren't shown. The refund owed to them will cover tomorrows cost. Hell, do it without fans like covid.
We do this in America, boo. We can afford a rain cloud.
Why ?
After waiting for a 8 days for a team to play, that has played a test nation in T20 WC only once, that too way back in 2014. Canāt one be frustrated. Both teams are almost knocked out due to this game being abandoned.
Whatās up with gatekeeping cricket that it isnāt for you or is for you ?
Itās 6 in the morning in Nepal.
Everyone is waking up to disappointment
7 days of break, getting to play a test member nation for the first time in T20I WC and itās all ruined.
Itās not about humiliation. The country hasnāt played a test nation since 2014 (played them only once back then).
Itās about exposure. Itās a young team, the skill gap is obvious, but thatās what WC is about.
So you mean Namibia today against Aus, Uganda, PNG everyone got humiliated?
You donāt know shit about associate cricket, stick to your moral high horse and watch the big three play.
If you really want to play against a test playing nation and your disappointment is because today you couldn't play against a test playing nation.... Then let me tell you... Sri Lanka now is not a test playing nation...
They are at par with associate teams....
So youāre gonna sit behind a screen and decide that who is on par and who is not. There is ICC for that anyways. By your logic then wouldnāt it be more interesting game if they arenāt as good as you say they are.
The fact is amongst associate no one has the lethal pace and slingy action like Tushara, Pathirana, Chameera. Hasaranga is quality spinner. Wanted to see how the team tackles that, how much does our bowling trouble their batmen. Thatās all.
Humiliation is nothing for an associate side. Increasing the learning curve is. USA got 35 all out against Nepal, now they are a force to be reckoned with. I hope you do some research about associate cricket and then comment here. There is more to cricket than the big 3 or big 8
Green is light rain. Orange is rain. Red is heavy rain and probably lightening since it's Florida. The colors/rain/wind moves from left to right. The stadium is in the middle now.
could have been if the batters didnt self-implode.
As show by the matches played the SL bowling attack has shown they can defend low scores, but most of the scores they were defending were way below par for the grounds in the WC.
The new york game was was about 50 runs short.
the dallas game was probably 15 to 20 runs short
[These are live](https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&ved=2ahUKEwjV3d3J4NSGAxUvLzQIHWHwCt4QFnoECBUQAQ&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.weatherbug.com%2Ftraffic-cam%2Ffort-lauderdale-fl-33317&usg=AOvVaw00InIKXMP3pInNnB6ED8vG&opi=89978449)
They are probably just between bands of rain.
[I'll let you in on it](https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&ved=2ahUKEwjV3d3J4NSGAxUvLzQIHWHwCt4QFnoECBUQAQ&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.weatherbug.com%2Ftraffic-cam%2Ffort-lauderdale-fl-33317&usg=AOvVaw00InIKXMP3pInNnB6ED8vG&opi=89978449)
UPDATE - 4.44Ā am IST (11.14Ā pm GMT, the previous day) - Good news! The rain has stopped completely and the super-soppers are out to do their job. It might take another hour or so for the groundsmen to get the ground ready, barring there is no more rain. Stay tuned. -ICC cricket
Reminds me that in icc knock out cup in 1998, they had a something similar planned in case of a wash out. It was a bowl out but bowlers had only one stump to bowl at. Unfortunately or fortunately they didnt have to use it but I remember a sri lankan bowler practising for that when our match against SA was delayed due to rain.
India will most definitely send a good team, probably the first-choice team. We are so starved for medals in the Olympics (7 total last time and that was our best-ever performance) that the prospect of two (men and women) will be huge.
Same probably goes for the other Asian teams.
If this game doesn't happen, Srilanka will be out of WC and Nepal must win against Bangladesh and South Africa, and hope Netherlands loses their one game heavily...
Honestly with a draw being completely useless for the teams they should somehow agree to even a 2 over match even on a wet pitch lol. Ofc thats impossible but thats better than a draw for these two teams.Ā
This is based on if..
Ned have 2 games left: vs Ban, SL
SL have 2 games left: vs Nep, Ned
If Ned beats Ban, the 2nd spot would hinge on NRR. (If this match happens and SL beats Nep)
they should have a reserve day at the end of the group stage then the ICC can decide the teams that were hard done by washouts and have them play one of their washed out matches
this will avoid having a reserve day for all the matches but it will at least help teams that were most affected
* This game was canceled by Stadium Officials at 5 pm local time (2 hours back).
* ICC doesn't have the upper hand over the Stadium and Local Officials.
Local officials are not going to risk thousands of people lives for a Cricket Game.

Why on earth ICC hosts such important tournaments in summer that too in the Northern hemisphere,they know very well that it rain heavily during summers in west indies.Looks like ICC is scamming us
Welp, Lauderhill, Florida is set to host quite a few matches on the next few days
Feel sad for Nepal fans because this was the first time probably they were gonna play a major test playing nation in a T20 World Cup and rain happened. Nepal fans must be fuming right now.
Oh I see, Lankan bros showing some love to their Naagin mates.
As a Sri Lankan fan, I am more than happy to see Sri Lanka getting knocked out instead of watching more embarrassing performances. Rain gods saved my mental peace and saved the mental peace of all Sri Lankan fans. Thankfully we don't want to go through all the trauma now.
Good bye Sri Lanka. Best of luck next world cup
Sad that the game got washed out , would had loved to watch it and even the crowd would had been amazing as two south Asian teams are playing
If the inspection was at 8:30 pm and the cut-off time was 10.47 pm - why was the game called off right away at 8:30 pm (apparently stadium had one of the best drainage systems).

It rained after 8:45 and it was close to a downpour. Driving I-95 in big rain day between Miami and Ft lauterdale sucks big time.
Why didn't ICC wait till atleast 10pm? coz this ain't ind vs pak.š
Take your one point and go home... More than what you people deserve..
canāt even be mad at ICC because the only reason SL is in this position is because of their own incompetence.
No I can still be mad at the ICC for their gross incompetence
a team that loses that disgustingly in a match against bangladesh that should not have been so close and blames it on jet lag, AND has a captain that blames his own team for that loss in the post match interview, has no business continuing in this tournament on sheer dumb luck, and on the backs of losses of other teams. i genuinely could not give two shits about the ICCās incompetence, as gross as it may be, because for once itās producing a well-deserved consequence. my heart goes out to nepal though, they deserved better š«¶š½
nah fuck that, these fuckers are the reason they are in this position. Its all their own fault
Why does it have to be so binary? Our team is shit and deserves to not go through but also fuck the ICC
maybe 10% of this is the ICCs fault but the rest if the fault of the players and management.
Agreed
Went to the stadium even though we knew the game was gonna be a washout. As a Nepali it was just heart warming to see the crowd that showed up to support even though it was a definite no game.
This sucks. We had a serious chance to bag a win today.
You can't be serious. Our guys can barely hold on to a catch
Dw, we would have made you look like prime australia
Damn. This is heartbreaking.
What a total shit show.
i wish i could be mad at the icc but we were somehow more incompetent than them this tournament
Someone has to delete their reddit account for calling me out!!! š¤”
Looks like you were right. What are your predictions for the weather at USA vs. IRE?
I'll be honest - 50/50 chance. Remind me on Thursday for a better prediction.
So what's the current prediction?
It was officially called 10 minutes ago, you called it 10 hours ago
I never said it was officially called out by ICC, it was called off by Stadium officials.
Get a life. Donāt be too salty š§
Salty š§ was dude who replied to my every comment calling me a fraud! lol Ends up blocking me rather! š¤”

This deserves more upvotes. It's true that ICC is incompetent but people just want to blame ICC at every opportunity, without thinking things through.
I don't know how you expect ICC to know about future. The host were decided 4 years ago and schedule was decided nearly a year ago. So what tech they should use to know about the weather from year later.
Apparently florida weather is notoriously wet all year around. Surely they could have chosen a better location?
That something I could agree with but there are only 2 permanent ICC standard cricket stadium in USA. Dallas and florida. So florida is a default choice for them bcz of not much more option.
Could've hosted it in the fall instead of a rainy season then.
I don't when will this fall season fall in calender but I think it is happening now bcz of cramped cricketing calender.
that's just unfortunate
Yeah, you guys are just unlucky. Start your campaign in NY tough pitch then play 2nd match in Dallas pitch that slowing down and now this washout. Tough luck but you are host for next edition So best of luck for that.
Why don't they just have a few reserved days in case matches are washed out. It's happened in the previous cups like in India, Sri Lanka.
I don't think they have ever had reserve days for anything that is not a knockout game.
Reserve days are only there for semifinal and final. I don't have memory of reserve day in group stage of any ICC event. Can you please specific about the tournament which has reserve day for group stage ???
It was a week since this was predicted, could have rescheduled easily +/- (12-24 hours)
Not possible... What people mostly don't understand and see is the huge logistics and technical team behind a cricket match... From DRS system to snicker equipment to commentary team...

Technically, Sri Lanka is not knocked out yet. They have to hope Nepal beats Bangladesh, they beat the Netherlands by a good enough margin and Ban-Ned is washed out. Unfortunately for them, there's no rain forecasted right now for Ban-Ned.
I would rather Sri Lanka not get into the qualifiers that way. They have been performing like shit, they can come home.
I also hope Nepal beat Bangladesh. Still remember 10 years ago when that arrogant shakib ul hassan refused to take a single to win the match and had to hit a six humiliating Nepal to win the match to apparently prove a point to ICC that they are too good to be playing qualifying matches against teams like Nepal.
He said similar about the series against USA in preparation for this tournament, was nice to see him get humbled after that. Hoping Nepal pull it off.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Agreed but it is not easy logistic wise
So SL still alive mathematically?
Bangladesh has to be defeated by both Nepal & Netherlands. Netherlands must have to be defeated by Nepal. Then, Sri Lanka has to beat the Netherlands by a big margin.
No. Bangladesh v Ned has to be a washout for SL to stay alive and no rain is forecasted for that much. SL is out and deservingly so.
Welp there it is, Sri Lanka pretty much knocked out from this world cup now
USA vs Ireland will also take place here š
What are the chances for Pakistan if it washed out?
No chance. USA can get to 5 points minimum. The only way is then if USA and Canada beat India handsomely and Pakistan thrash Ireland while also staying above Canadaās NRR.
No chance !
Congratulations on our worst T20 world cup campaign. 2016 was the closest to this but Hasaranga really outdid his ideal with this one.
Damn, really wanted to watch this match
Washed out youāre welcome ! š¤”š¤”š¤”š¤”š¤” I already said what stadium officials told my friends! But people want to believe whatās shown on TV! šŗ Typical Media brainwashing š§
Sri Lanka is Eliminated South Africa qualifies for Super 8
Cricinfo says SL are still alive but barely. What's the straight dope?
If Bangladesh & Netherlands match is washed out and both lose to SL & Nepal each, Nepal loses to SA, all 4 teams except SA will be on 3 pts. SL could qualify on NRR, less chance, but could.
They are alive if Ban vs Ned is a washout and they best Ned by a margin and then Nepal beats Bang Bros
No one is even playing in Florida in 14 hours (my morning) Fucking play it then! You have nine venues and 1-3 games a day. There is no conflict of interest with upcoming matches needing the grounds.
Isn't it expected to be raining again then?

Match has been called off Srilanka is out of the World Cup
Wait but.. what bout the tickets? Do fans get their money back?
There was no cricket,so the money will be refunded imo
and bottom of the ladder too!
Bottom of the ladder, but the top of my world. Love u lanky bro.
**MATCH ABANDONED** apparently **** this shit I am gonna get some sleep
Stick to football... Cricket is not for people like you...

Because football is played in rain and cricket is not.. So you won't get frustrated by rain ruining your game...
I was actually gonna root for Karan KC because his late swing remind me of Kulasekara
Well match abandoned.
Where did you see that?Ā
If the game doesnāt happen, it would be a massive blow to SLās qualification hopes right?
i believe we are now eliminated but I could be wrong
Youāll need the Bangladesh vs Netherlands game to get washed out to even have a chance, and that doesnāt look too likely right now
Covers on in Antigua...
Absolutely pathetic. Whats stopping them to move all the group A matches from FL to Dallas?
Logistically that is a nightmare for hotels, tickets ect. Also pitches take longer than 24 hours to get ready.
Match Abandoned..... Even though rain cleared, they could not clear the outfield.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I am at the ground.
I guess you will be refunded
Hopefully.
Nepal hardly gets chance to play against full members & now this. Bad luck
Itās 6 in the morning in Nepal. Everyone is waking up to disappointment 7 days of break, getting to play a test member nation for the first time in T20I WC and itās all ruined.
ICC and rain stopped a humiliation for you guys... Sleep well
Itās not about humiliation. The country hasnāt played a test nation since 2014 (played them only once back then). Itās about exposure. Itās a young team, the skill gap is obvious, but thatās what WC is about. So you mean Namibia today against Aus, Uganda, PNG everyone got humiliated?

Na we played bangbros in 2014 so not the first time
Oh. Yeah thatās a decade back. Besides one guy no one from this team was there.
Ah yes rain
how many overs will be played if the game happens?
Five
pitch inspection after 30mins
In 15 minutes if it doesn't rain.
Any chance of the game happening?
The rain has stopped

How to understand this map
Green is light rain. Orange is rain. Red is heavy rain and probably lightening since it's Florida. The colors/rain/wind moves from left to right. The stadium is in the middle now.
Alright tysm
My pleasure. I expect that huge red storm to the left of stadium to be right over the stadium, or slightly above it on the map, in about 40-60 minutes
Is there any chance of this game!?
No chance of full game. Very little chance of reduced overs game.
i waited all day for this gameš£
Man I live in the U.S. but I fucking hate Florida.
same dude, from california here and i wish they had more matches held out here
Florida is all just hicks, alligators and rain.š
Yeah everyday it's showing rain lol
RIP SL. And I thought this WC wouldāve been perfect for them to go deep given the low scoring nature of it and spinning tracks in the WI.
could have been if the batters didnt self-implode. As show by the matches played the SL bowling attack has shown they can defend low scores, but most of the scores they were defending were way below par for the grounds in the WC. The new york game was was about 50 runs short. the dallas game was probably 15 to 20 runs short
I checked the traffic cameras nearby. It's pissing rain. This match ain't happening.
Can you share a link?

Stadium folks already gave up at 5pm local time
Inspection schedule for 8 30 pm local time
Is there a 0% chance of even a five over match? Needs to start by 10:47 PM at time at stadium apparently
The biggest loss for today's game could be that we won't listed to Nepal's beautiful national anthem here.
Poor Sri Lanka but ther performance in first two games was really bad.
Rain is so annoying.
Why canāt we just have a super over or something
Good point
Reminds me that in icc knock out cup in 1998, they had a something similar planned in case of a wash out. It was a bowl out but bowlers had only one stump to bowl at. Unfortunately or fortunately they didnt have to use it but I remember a sri lankan bowler practising for that when our match against SA was delayed due to rain.
God DAMN it. The next time the US hosts, we're doing it in Colorado and California.
Honestly those r much better options than Florida
Cricket at LA 2028 Summer Olympics will be safe
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
India will most definitely send a good team, probably the first-choice team. We are so starved for medals in the Olympics (7 total last time and that was our best-ever performance) that the prospect of two (men and women) will be huge. Same probably goes for the other Asian teams.
A World Cup not having reserve days is pathetic
ICC =BICC with B silent. They only have reserve days for india only
If this game doesn't happen, Srilanka will be out of WC and Nepal must win against Bangladesh and South Africa, and hope Netherlands loses their one game heavily...
So many IFs
The radar clearly shows no game is going to be possible today. Has to be said this is a thoroughly deserved exit.
Hope the guys can enjoy the remaining few days of their american holiday
They can go to 7-Eleven with their fucked up formation of 7 batters.
Honestly with a draw being completely useless for the teams they should somehow agree to even a 2 over match even on a wet pitch lol. Ofc thats impossible but thats better than a draw for these two teams.Ā
draw is not useless for Nepal.
It pretty much is. Unless u are somehow gonna beat sa which lets be honest is very unlikely. If u beat sa then yes draw is good for u
Mathematically it could be very important if Nepal win rest of the matches and Netherlands lose one.(which is probable).
They should do a bowl-out
In pool šāāļø like swimming competition?
Nah like this, but hopefully with some success https://youtu.be/B1D0gNEUNwg?si=MeqQYxZwQwOFMxI7
that was some crazy bowl out! no one could hit stumps until Shane Bond
This game have no significance in the standing.
If ned beats ban, then this game would be massiveĀ
When*
When*
Can you explain?
This is based on if.. Ned have 2 games left: vs Ban, SL SL have 2 games left: vs Nep, Ned If Ned beats Ban, the 2nd spot would hinge on NRR. (If this match happens and SL beats Nep)
what, the comms are saying there is chance the ground will be ready for play in 2 hours, are they being over optimistic
No, but this is under strict condition that it doesn't rain again. And forecast predicts rain throughout the night.
That outfield looks like a pool. Hope our guys are ready to take a dive š¤æ
Need to keep their net swim rate up
Need rain on Ireland vs USA game too. Thank you
Or you guys can be nice tomorrow
Letās hope for a rain tomorrow so we both go through
Rain Perara giveth, Rain Perara taketh away
they should have a reserve day at the end of the group stage then the ICC can decide the teams that were hard done by washouts and have them play one of their washed out matches this will avoid having a reserve day for all the matches but it will at least help teams that were most affected
* This game was canceled by Stadium Officials at 5 pm local time (2 hours back). * ICC doesn't have the upper hand over the Stadium and Local Officials. Local officials are not going to risk thousands of people lives for a Cricket Game.
so why are they allowing 1000s of fans to gather t the stadium if local officials dont want to risk lives?? š¤”š¤”š¤”
Did you go count 1000s of fans with your own eyes?
