Rain wrecks match between Somerset and Redbacks

The Bangalore rain continue to mar what's been, for the most part, an exciting Champions League Twenty20.

The rain had relented after a downpour the previous night but the toss, won by South Australia who opted to field, took place under overcast conditions. There was a steady drizzle not long before the scheduled start of play at 4pm and it intensified, leaving its mark on the outfied, ruining any possibility of play and putting the next game due to start at 8pm in jeopardy.

Somerset and South Australia gained a point each due to the abandonment. Somerset now have three points with two games in hand; South Australia also have three points but are under greater pressure, given they have just one game remaining.
