Ireland clash against Italy rained off

There was frustration for Ireland this morning with heavy rain in Abu Dhabi meaning that their ICC World Twenty20 qualifying game against Italy was abandoned without a ball bowled.

William Porterfield's men came into the Group A contest brimful of confidence following Wednesday's record-breaking win over USA but were left kicking their heels as the rain continued through the morning.

Heavy rain left the adjacent pitches and run-ups sodden, and despite several inspections, play was officially called off at 12:35pm local time.

The consolation for Ireland is that with the sides picking up a point apiece they remain in pole position in the group – one point ahead of Hong Kong, and three ahead of hosts UAE, who have a match in hand.

Two more wins, against Uganda on Friday and second-placed Hong Kong on Sunday would see Ireland emerge as group winners and into the semi-finals of the tournament.

The match tomorrow against Uganda gets under way at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium at 10am Irish time.
