Even a floodlight failure couldn't prevent Ireland shining like a beacon and staying on course to make it into the Twenty20 World Cup proper.
Ireland have beaten the UAE in their group qualifier in Bangladesh.
The Irish won by 21 runs under the Duckworth Lewis method.
UAE compiled 123-6 in their 20 overs.
Ireland were 103-3 in the 15th when first the floodlights gave out and then the rain came down meaning no more play was possible.
All Ireland have to do now is to beat Holland in their next game and they're through to meet the cream of the world's crop.
There was a worry over opening bat Paul Stirling who retired hurt after the first over of the Irish reply with an elbow injury.
But it's not thought it'll rule him out of the game against Holland.
Stirling had taken two wickets with his brand of spin.
