India vs Australia, 3rd T20: Match called off due to sodden outfield, series end at 1-1 draw

The final and series decider Twenty20 International between India and Australia was abandoned due to sodden outfield without a ball being bowled at Rajiv Gandhi Stadium, Hyderabad.

As a result of the abandonment, the three-match T20 series finished in a tie with both teams winning one match each.

The two captains Virat Kohli and David Warner, umpires and match officials decided that no play could be possible because of a soft outfield.

According to the umpires, the outfield was so sodden that there was no real chance of play despite the fact that it did not rain for quite a while.
