There is some light drizzle

Sooo rain still heavy and if we do start we start losing overs
Guessing that doesn't really play into our hands with our inability to get wickets?

I’m guessing washout preferred now taking a point against Pakistan in this group could still be useful
Cricket sentences you don't expect to read:
The Super Eights phase was pre-seeded according to ICC rankings, with Zimbabwe taking the place reserved for Australia, the one team in the top eight not to advance.
So if NZ make the semis, Aus do not have direct access to 2028 Olympics and have to qualify via a tournament based on rankings. Surely that’s an incentive in itself
Well, my opinion of T20 is that it's a bit of a crapshoot.
Sharing points with Pakistan means that the pool becomes more of a crapshoot.
That works against us if you think we're one of the stronger teams in the pool (and especially if you think we're better than Pakistan) and for us if you think we're weaker.
Given that all four second placed teams are in our pool, I'm inclined to think we'd have been better to reduce the crapshoot element by playing all our games.
vs England will be a crapshoot, though Nepal nearly beat them.
Zimbabwe beat SL and both beat Oz.
Roll them dice!
I don't think the change of venue does us any favours. If we manage to emerge from the group I assume we have to go back to India
Assuming Lanka finish this well only needing 147, then that sets the standard in our group. New Zealand would also need to dispatch England to ensure run rate good enough
Sri Lanka might struggle from here even though plenty of time to go… this would make super eights interesting if this continues. Still lots of time left in this one
