Bad weather ends Ireland’s World Twenty20 hopes

Ireland are out of the ICC World Twenty20 after heavy rain prevented a result in their match against Bangladesh in Dharamsala.

The bad weather relented temporarily to allow William Porterfield’s team to start a contest already reduced to 12 overs per side.

But after in-form Tamim Iqbal powered Bangladesh to 94 for two in only eight of those overs, rain and lightning returned.
