Game abandoned almost for sure.
IMO they should reschedule.. to another city next day if necessary.
I am wary of the "Butterfly flapping its wings, causing a hurricane"
Aust missing out on a (certain) point could change the ultimate Pool ranking, no big deal in itself, but then match-ups for next round different and so on through to final. It is even possible that a team will be eliminated from Pool A because of the 1 point added to Bangladesh... that team may well have gone on to win the Cup.

Quote:
In chaos theory, the butterfly effect is the sensitive dependence on initial conditions in which a small change in one state of a deterministic nonlinear system can result in large differences in a later state. The name of the effect, coined by Edward Lorenz, is derived from the metaphorical example of the details of a hurricane (exact time of formation, exact path taken) being influenced by minor perturbations such as the flapping of the wings of a distant butterfly several weeks earlier.
