Guyana, May 5 (IANS) England moved to the Super Eight of the World Twenty20 after their Group D match against Ireland was abandoned due to rain at the Providence Stadium here.

Chasing a modest target of 121 runs, Ireland were 14 for one in 3.3 overs when heavy rains interrupted the match for the second time. Play had to be finally called off.

England thus moved to the Super Eight, pipping Ireland on the basis of a superior run rate. West Indies is the other team to have reached the second stage having topped the group.

Zimbabwe Cricket Team will Play with Australia and Pakistan

ZIMBABWE will get two more chances to fine-tune their squad ahead of the ICC World Twenty20 cricket tournament in the West Indies when they play Australia and Pakistan in warm-up matches.
Zimbabwe play Australia in St Lucia today and defending champions Pakistan on Thursday after a largely disappointing pre-tournament tour that saw them losing twice to the West Indies A side.

Coach Alan Butcher and his charges face stronger oppositions that would accurately gauge their preparedness and their capacity with only one week left before playing their first game of the tournament.
