Live Score - India vs Australia
That's it! MATCH ABANDONED! It has been raining continuously. The umpires were out for an inspection and have decided that we cannot get a game on hand. The match has been called of with only 16 overs of play possible. Australia are unbeaten so far and are already in the finals. Team India will be more than happy taking 2 points out of this game as the last match now between England and India will be a virtual semi final as to who will play Australia in the finals.Stay tuned for the 6th match of this tri-series between England and India on 30th at the WACA, Perth at 0850 IST. Till then goodbye and take care.
1 pm IST update - The rain continues to pour at the SCG. To get a game at hand we need to start atleast by 3 pm IST which will be a 20-over per side affair. In case this game gets washed out, the permutations and combinations of run rate and bonus point are out of the picture. So the final game between India and England will be a decider as to who will play Australia in the finals.
