Nepal and India ‘A’ shared points in their second fixture of the ACC Emerging Teams Cup Twenty20 after the game was abandoned without a toss at the Mission Road Ground in Mong Kok, Hong Kong on Thursday owing to a wet outfield following a downpour.

The other match of Group ‘A’ between hosts Hong Kong and Pakistan also ended in a similar fashion at the same venue. Nepal had lost their opening match against Pakistan ‘A’ on Tuesday while India ‘A’ had pulled off a nine-wicket victory over Hong Kong.

Nepal will play their third and final match of the group against Hong Kong on Saturday while India ‘A’ will vie against Pakistan ‘A’.

India lead the table on three points and Pakistan, also on three points, are behind them on net run rate. Nepal are third and Hong Kong fourth on equal one points. Nepal still have a slim chance to make it into the semi-final should they beat hosts Hong Kong by a big margin and Pakistan lose to India on Saturday.

Group ‘B’ comprises Bangladesh ‘A’, Sri Lanka ‘A’, the UAE and Malaysia. The top two teams of each group will make it to the semi-finals.
