Alas, we could only have play worth 15.2 overs, all thanks to rain. This Gold Coast track seemed one with runs fully-loaded within it. Jemimah Rodrigues was looking in her scintillating best in the knock of 49*, as she was looking India to a daunting total. If was not for the Rain Gods, we could have had a cracking contest. Unfortunately, destiny had some other plans.
That's concludes our coverage for this one, but don't you worry, do enjoy our IPL's coverage. This is Arjun Bhalla signing off on the behalf of Anurag Dasgupta and Arijit Kundu. Until next time it's goodbye.
Update | 4:25 PM IST: Right, we had hopes of the game being able to get back on track soon but unfortunately, we've got real bad news. Due to rain the match has been abandoned. Both teams receive 1 point towards the series.
Update | 4:15 PM IST: The wait goes on and on and on. The rain god looks unhappy at the moment.
DG: Back with yet another swift update: Thanks to rain, India's innings has been completed. Once the rain stops and play resumes, the Aussies will come out to bat. Play will need to resume by 9:06 PM local time, i.e 4:36 PM IST
Update | 3:55 PM IST: It's still raining and the covers are still on. It might take another 20-30 mins before we have any news from the ground.
Update | 3:40 PM IST: Light drizzle still going on. The players are waiting on the sidelines for the rain to stop.
Oh gosh, the rain prediction has got right. Suddenly it has started to drizzle and the players are walking off the field. It doesn't look heavy at all. So fingers crossed everyone...
15.2 G Wareham to R Ghosh
0 Leg break delivery at fuller length well outside off. Richa taps it to cover-point and tries to steal a run here but Rodrigues says no. Sends her back on time. Oh geez, rain has got heavier. Players are walking off!
