India vs Australia 5th T20 highlights
India and Australia took on each other in the fifth T20 of the five-match series at the Gabba in Brisbane, with India hoping to win the match and seal the series 3-1 in their favour, while Australia hoped to finish the series at 2-2.
The match started with Australia winning the toss and opting to bowl first. They dropped two easy catches of Abhishek Sharma, and the Indian team took full advantage of it, adding 52 runs in just 4.5 overs without losing a wicket.
Shubman Gill was batting on 29 not out off 16 balls, and Abhishek Sharma was batting on 23 off 13 balls at that point before the game was put on hold due to a lightning warning. But even before players could return to the field, the game was further delayed due to rain, which was expected to continue for quite some time.
After almost three hours of waiting, the rain refused to ease, and the match ended in a no-contest. This was the second match of the series to end in a no-contest, as the first match in Canberra was also washed out due to rain. The washout of the final match meant India won the series 2-1, marking their 18th consecutive T20I bilateral series victory.
India will now head back home to host South Africa in a multi-format tour starting with a two-match Test series on November 14, while Australia will now host England for the Ashes starting November 21.
