That would be all from our side as we wrap up our coverage of this Super Smash game between the Northern Brave and the Central Stags. For now, it will be the pair of Soumarya Dutta and Darpan Tikiya taking your leave on behalf of our Scorer/Analyst Yogesh Kumar. See you soon!
It's a real shame that we didn't have any action today. It means that the Central Stags will continue to remain at the top of the table while the Northern Brave will remain at number three.
11:53 AM IST, 7:23 PM LOCAL TIME | The match has been abandoned.
Unfortunately, the weather has the final say. The skippers come together to shake hands and the teams will take equal points from this game. Both teams will feature next on the weekend. Northern Brave will now play Otago Volts on Saturday, while Central Stags will lock horns with Canterbury Kings on Sunday.
