The primary day of the two-day pink ball sport between India and the Prime Minister’s XI was washed out on account of persistent rain.
Possibilities of play had been distant with a gentle drizzle bedding in from virtually 10am proper via to about 5.30pm throughout which era the covers stayed firmly on. The Indian crew did come over to the bottom however there wasn’t a lot cause for them to stay round.
The rain did cease, briefly, late within the day, and there was a flurry of exercise, with the covers being peeled off and members of each groups’ help workers being briefed by the 2 umpires. However when the groundstaff restored the covers, packed up and left at 6.30pm, it was clear that there could be no cricket. A lot heavier rain got here via at 7pm.
The sport is anticipated to renew as a 50-over affair ranging from 2.40pm on Sunday. Tickets for Saturday’s play will probably be refunded.
The second Check is a day-night sport from December 6 in Adelaide, the place India had been bowled out for 36 of their final outing there.
