The Netherlands crashed out of the ICC World T20 after its second qualifying match against Oman was washed out in Dharamsala on Friday.

It rained intermittently at the picturesque HPCA Stadium and no play was possible in the first game of the day after Oman won the toss and put the Netherlands in to bat.

Netherlands had lost their opening Group A game to Bangladesh. Oman on other have a good chance of making the tournament proper after their famous win over Ireland.

Bangladesh, the team which is expected to qualify from the group, are scheduled to play Ireland later at the scenic venue.
