PROVIDENCE, Guyana, CMC-Inclement weather has forced the abandonment of the 24th match of the Caribbean Premier League between Guyana Amazon Warriors and Jamaica Tallawahs without a ball being bowled.
Both teams will share a point each after heavy and persistent showers forced umpires to call of the match at Providence Stadium in Guyana tonight.
Play was in doubt from the scheduled start time as umpires, armed with umbrellas and in defiance of a persistent drizzle, began inspecting the out-field .
However a cat and mouse scenario ensued with the covers being brought off and on several times as rain continued to delay the start of play.
About two and a half hours after the schedule start time, covers were taken off again as Warriors and Tallawahs prepared for the toss to be followed by a contest reduced to five overs a side.
But a few minutes later the heavens opened up again forcing umpires to call off the match.
The point from the abandoned match has pushed Tallawahs into second place which they now share with St.Lucia Zouks.
Zouks and Tallawahs have both won four matches and lost the same number of games with each gaining a point from a no result match.
Warriors are languishing above bottom of the table Trinidad and Tobago Red Steel.
