In St Lucia: A rain-soaked outfield prevented play for the second straight day between the Windward Islands and the Leeward Islands at the Mindoo Phillip Park.

The umpires suspended the match after showers Friday night and early Saturday left the outfield soggy. Friday's play was also called off due to rain.

Both teams need a result in this fixture to improve their standings in the six-team tournament, currently led by Barbados with 24 points. (AP)
