In the first T20I match between Team India and Australia at the Manuka Oval, the rain interrupted the play on Wednesday, forcing the on-field umpires to call the covers on.

So far, Team India has reached the score of 43 runs for the loss of one wicket in five overs. The visitors lost the early wicket of their opening batsman, Abhishek Sharma, on 19 runs. Facing 14 balls, the left-hander smashed four boundaries.
