Guernsey hit by rain in Singapore

Guernsey team huddle
Guernsey were 184-2 off 35.2 overs when the match was abandoned

Guernsey suffered another blow at the World Cricket League Division Six tournament in Singapore as their match against Norway was abandoned.

Torrential rain caused the stoppage after the Guernsey side, who lost their matches against Singapore and Bahrain, were 184-2 after 35.2 overs.

Chairman of the Guernsey Cricket Board David Piesing said: "It's hugely disappointing and very frustrating.

"We were doing exactly what we set out to do, looking well set to make 300."

"The entire outfield, within about 20 minutes of coming off, was literally a lake - I've never seen rain like it," he said.

"It rained like that for about an hour and a half straight through and pretty much put paid to today's play."

Guernsey are currently bottom of the table behind Botswana on net run rate while the hosts lead the table following three victories from three matches.
