Torrential rain and severe thunderstorms have forced the abandonment of the opening match of the day between Bermuda and the Bahamas at the Jimmy Powell Oval in the Cayman Islands.
The scheduled fixture was called off without a ball bowled after persistent morning downpours saturated the outfield, leaving match officials with no option but to abandon play.
The abandonment marks yet another frustrating disruption at the North America Cup, where an unrelenting spell of inclement weather continues to wreak havoc on the tournament schedule.
Both sides had arrived targeting crucial points to strengthen their standing in the regional showcase, but groundstaff were fighting a losing battle from the outset as electrical activity and standing water made play impossible.
Each team takes a single point from the no-result, a shared outcome that leaves tournament organizers facing a mounting logistical headache as they look to preserve the integrity of the remaining fixtures amid a volatile meteorological forecast.
