Heavy rain led to the one-off Twenty20 International between the West Indies and Bangladesh in St Kitts being abandoned after only 4.4 overs.

Bangladesh made a steady start to the match, finishing on 31/0 before the heavens parted and the players were ushered off the field.

With the rain refusing to relent, the umpires had no choice but to call the match off, which meant that the series finished as a 0-0 draw.
