· Sports · ESPNCricinfo, Times of India
Persistent rain and a damp outfield forced the abandonment of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup quarter-final 16 minutes before the scheduled toss at the Brian Lara Cricket Academy in Trinidad. India progressed to the semi-finals without playing a ball, as Afghanistan's defending total was never reached. The decision followed a full inspection of the conditions by match officials. Both teams were forced to travel back without a result recorded.
