2018-19 India Tour of Australia Second T20 @ MCG Friday Nov 23,2018

Persistent Rain Forces Second T20I in Melbourne to be Abandoned

The weather had the final say in what promised to be an exciting second Twenty20 International between India and Australia with persistent rain forcing the encounter to be abandoned on Friday Nov 23,2018

India, after conceding the opening game in Brisbane by 4 runs, came back strongly in Melbourne and had the upper hand all through as they restricted the hosts to 132/7 in 19 overs before the skies opened up. Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Khaleel Ahmed picked up two wickets each while Jasprit Bumrah, Kuldeep Yadav and Krunal Pandya all chipped in with a wicket each to push Australia on the backfoot.


The intermittent rain had everyone on their toes as the overs began to reduce and just as a five-over chase was in the offing the drizzle was back forcing the game into abandonment.

Australia to play the 3rd and final T20 @ Sydney on Sunday Nov 25,2018 with a 1-0 lead knowing they can't lose the three-match series.
