| Rain saves India's blushes | | |
Kuala Lumpur, Sep 16 Rain came to India's rescue tonight when they were tottering at 35-5, forcing abandonment of the crucial triseries cricket one-dayer against Australia who had made a modest 244.
The Indians were set a revised target of 170 in 29 overs after the rains interrupted play when they were 16 for no loss after five overs.
The game swung heavily in favour of Australia after the resumption as Mitchell Johnson cut a swathe through the Indian top order, claiming four wickets in eight balls.
The Indians, who were robbed off a possible victory in their rain-hit opening match against the West Indies after the D/L method was applied, were then saved by the heavy showers.
The teams were awarded two points each since the match was declared a 'no result'.
Australia topped the table with seven points followed by the West Indies who have five points and India with two, from two matches each.
The World Champions take on the West Indies in the next match on Monday. |
