Rain forces early lunch in Trinidad after Abbas dismisses King

Rain halted play in Trinidad and led to an early lunch break. Only 14.1 overs were possible in the session, during which West Indies managed just 23 runs and Abbas dismissed King.

The interruption came during the scheduled session in Trinidad, with the report dated 2026-07-25T16:18:29.0000000Z. Persistent showers prevented a full morning of cricket, restricting the match to a heavily truncated period. Those limited conditions produced a notably low tally for the hosts before the break.

Play could proceed for only 14.1 overs before the conditions deteriorated. In that shortened interval West Indies accumulated a total of 23 runs, a modest return given the time on the clock. The figures underline how little play was possible before the stop.

A key moment in the brief session saw Abbas claim the wicket of King. That dismissal was one of the few substantive events before the premature halt for lunch. Beyond that wicket and the run total, the session offered limited action to assess.

Organisers called for an early lunch as rain moved across the ground in Trinidad, cutting the period short. The conditions prevented further overs being bowled once the decision was taken. The interruption left the match paused with the hosts at the low score recorded during the curtailed play.

The curtailed session left West Indies on 23 after 14.1 overs, with Abbas having removed King. The scheduled play could not continue due to the rain, bringing an early break to proceedings.
