AP, Brisbane :
Australia and Bangladesh will split the competition points after heavy rain forced Cricket World Cup organizers to abandon the Pool A match in Brisbane on Saturday.
A cyclone which crossed the coast north of Brisbane on Friday caused heavy rain for two days. Organizers finally decided to cancel the match at 4:45 p.m. local time, more than three hours after the scheduled start.
Four-time champion Australia, which opened the tournament with a 111-run win over England, will next play co-host New Zealand in Auckland next weekend.
Bangladesh next play Sri Lanka in Melbourne next Thursday.
