IND vs AUS T20 Match: Match Missed Due to Rain! Gill-Suryakumar's Innings Wasted, First T20 Match Canceled

The first T20 match between India and Australia held in Canberra was canceled due to rain interruptions. After rain disrupted the game twice, the umpires decided to call off the match as there were no signs of weather improvement. Team India was off to a great start, but the weather completely changed the course of the game.

Batting first, India started the game aggressively. Abhishek Sharma was dismissed for 19 runs, but then captain Suryakumar Yadav and vice-captain Shubman Gill launched a strong attack on the Australian bowlers. Together, they raised hopes of building a formidable score for the team.

Shubman Gill announced his return to form by scoring 37 runs off just 20 balls. His strike rate went up to 185. Meanwhile, Suryakumar Yadav scored 39 runs off 24 balls, sending the ball outside the boundary twice and hitting three fours. Recently, the form of these two was concerning; however, their batting in this match provided some relief to the team management.

All eyes are now on India's next match. The second T20 will be played on October 31 in Melbourne. However, there is a possibility that the weather might pose a challenge there as well. According to forecasts, there is a 50% chance of rain in the Melbourne area during the match, causing concern among fans and players alike. Everyone hopes that the situation like in Canberra will not arise again.

On the other hand, the Australian team will definitely have to think about this canceled match. Because in just 9.4 overs, the Australian bowlers conceded a whopping 97 runs. Hazelwood, Bartlett, Nathan Ellis, and Kuhnemann could not take advantage of the pitch's bounce or the conditions. If their mistakes are not corrected in Melbourne, the series could turn towards India.

Although the bright start in Canberra was wasted due to rain, it has been a preparatory struggle for the Indian lower order. With signs that Gill-Suryakumar are back in form, Indian fans' expectations for the upcoming matches have increased. Now all eyes are on Melbourne, and the only request is that the sky there supports the game!
