Scotland's hopes of a morale-boosting win before the ICC World Twenty20 starts next week were dashed as their match against the Netherlands in Mohali was washed out.

The Saltires were defeated by Oman in a warm-up game on Friday and looked set to face a big target after the Dutch scored 133-3 in 15.1 overs.

However, a downpour meant the game was abandoned, leaving Scotland short of batting practice heading into their tournament opener against Afghanistan on Tuesday in Nagpur.

Safyaan Sharif was the pick of the Scotland bowlers with 2-30.
