DHARAMSALA: The Netherlands was knocked out of the World Twenty20 after the game against Oman was abandoned due to rain without a ball being bowled on Friday.

The Netherlands has only one point from two games, having lost to group favorite Bangladesh by eight runs. Its last match is against Ireland on Sunday.

Oman, which had pulled off a surprise two-wicket win over Ireland in its first match, has three points with a game against Bangladesh to go.

Group favorite Bangladesh and Ireland were due to play later in the day at the same venue.

The group winner advances to the Super 10 stage and joins Group 2 consisting of India, Pakistan, Australia and New Zealand.
