Saturday dawned to the liquid acoustics of rain. It stayed that way here for a large part and as umbrellas were unfurled and people went about their business in the Australian capital, a sport that demanded sun and sparkle, was left stranded.
With its centre-square covered and some fans in their rain-wear in the stands, the Manuka Oval presented a gloomy spectacle and a wash-out seemed possible. It became a reality eventually as around 6.30 p.m. local time, the day’s play between India and the Prime Minister’s XI was abandoned. A 50-over-per-side match will now be held on Sunday.
