Update at 10:00 PM IST: Yes as expected the match has been called off. Sri Lanka have made it to the Finals and will meet the winner of tomorrow's Semi Final between India and South Africa.


Update at 9:57 PM IST: The ground is in a bad shape following a hailstorm. Looks like the match is practically over with Sri Lanka comfortably winning by the D/L Method. Will have to hold on for the official word though...

Update at 9:15 PM: It is a thunderstorm that has hit the ground! West Indies are 27 runs behind the D/L Target! Over 13.5 KMDN Kulasekara slips in a full toss to MN Samuels, 1 lb, looks to heave it and gets hit on the body and can only run a leg bye from point. Well where has this come from? Play has been stopped at Dhaka with rain pelting down!!
