Tournament hosts Jersey have come top of Group B in the rain-hit World Cricket League Division Five.

Jersey will now play the winner of Group A, which will be either Nepal or the USA in a semi-final on Friday.

Due to several days of heavy rain the only game from Group B to be played on Thursday will be between Singapore and Japan, postponed from Monday.

All of the Group A matches will still be played but only Nepal and the United States can go through.

The US and Nepal will play each other on Thursday and Jersey will be playing the losing team in the semi-final.

It is unknown who the winner of the Nepal-US match will face as it depends on the outcome of Singapore v Japan.

If Singapore beat Japan with a high run rate then it is possible that Singapore could overtake Afghanistan as the second-placed team in Group B, joining Jersey in the semi-finals.
