IND vs AUS, 1st T20I: India-Australia Series Opener Called Off Due to Rain

On Wednesday, the India-Australia opener at Manuka Oval was abandoned after steady showers, leaving India cricket team 1-97 off 9.4 overs.
After repeated showers, the ball became wet and Australian bowlers lost control, and the match umpires shortened the contest to 18 overs apiece following a 45-minute stoppage.
Suryakumar Yadav and Shubman Gill built a 62-run stand that underpinned India's innings, with Yadav unbeaten on 39 off 24 and Gill on 37 not out off 20.
A sell-out crowd at Canberra left disappointed as fans missed Jasprit Bumrah and a dropped catch by Josh Philippe denied Australia an earlier wicket, while Mitch Marsh lost an opportunity to press Ashes hopes.
India's openers raced to 35 off 3.5 overs as the Manuka Oval strip offered good bounce and carry that suited the Indian skipper's style for the series remaining matches.
