ARWINDHOEK - Canada's cricket game against the Netherlands was abandoned Wednesday without a single ball played due to rain.
The two were slated to meet in ICC Men's Cricket World League 2 play at Wanderers Cricket Ground. The Dutch had won the toss, electing to field first, only to have Mother Nature intervene.
Canada is scheduled to face host Namibia on Sunday, the Netherlands on March 11 and Namibia again March 15.
The Cricket World Cup League 2 features eight teams — also including Nepal, Oman, Scotland, the United Arab Emirates and the U.S., with each of the sides playing 36 one-day internationals spread across nine triangular series through December 2026.
The top four teams move on to a 10-country World Cup Qualifier that will send the last four teams to the 2027 World Cup.
Canada currently stands third in the standings at 8-4 with 17 points, behind the U.S. (11-5, 22 points) and Oman (8-6, 18 points). The Dutch are fourth (7-5, 15 points) and Namibia sixth (6-10, 12 points).
