Rain reigns in Stormont

Ireland and the Netherlands were left frustrated by the Stormont rain which ruined the final of the ICC World Twenty20 Qualifier.

The two teams were due to do battle at 1pm but steady rain forced the groundstaff to put the covers on just moments before play was due to start.

Ireland had elected to field first after winning the toss but the game never looked like starting due to the poor weather and was officially abandoned at 4.30pm.

The two teams shared the trophy while Ireland's Andre Botha won the player of the tournament award.

Earlier today Canada hammered Bermuda by five wickets in a fifth place play-off.
