Australia and India denied by rain after Suryakumar big hitting
"India reached 97-1 in the 10th over against hosts Australia when rain fell in Canberra in the first T20 of the series. Click here to follow our live coverage of the second game of the series. The first Twenty20 between Australia and India was washed out by the Canberra rain, with the tourists able to bat for less than half of their allocated tally of overs for a total of 97 for one."
"Shubman Gill was 37 not out and skipper Suryakumar Yadav unbeaten on 39 when the first clash in a five-match series was stopped for the second and final time after 9.4 overs on Wednesday. India opener Abhishek Sharma had already toe-ended a Nathan Ellis delivery to Tim David at mid-off for 19 when drizzle brought play to an end for the first time and the match was reduced to 18 overs aside."
"India, who are favourites to retain the T20 World Cup on home soil early next year, were looking to maintain the momentum after a consolation win in the final match of the one-day international series on Saturday. The tourists earlier suffered another injury blow when all-rounder Nitish Kumar Reddy was ruled out of the first three T20s after suffering from neck spasms as he recovered from a quadriceps injury sustained in the ODI series."
