That is it! The game has been called off. It started with rain and the rain won in the end. We saw a good game though. Australia will be happy in the end. Steven Smith, Alex Carey and Cameron Green showed good signs with the bat. Smith scored an impressive fifty. However, the main player for them was Mitchell Starc who showed an all-round performance. First, came up the order to bat and remain 22 not out. Later, with the new ball swinging took Hat-trick and dismantled the Netherlands order. Colin Ackermann was the only one who stayed out and shielded the ball. That is it from this match now. Colin Ackermann was all set to take his team right till the end but the rain god had other plans. Join us for other warm-up matches. England take on Bangladesh while New Zealand will face South Africa on 2nd October, Monday at 2 pm IST (8.30 am GMT). Till then, cheers!
Update - 10.28 pm IST (4.58 pm GMT) - It has started to rain and it is raining heavily as the covers are coming from all parts. If the rain persists for a longer time, we might see the game come to an end.
