Australia vs India, 1st T20I: The first T20 played between India and Australia in Canberra was canceled due to rain. Rain interrupted the play twice and the second time it did not stop, as a result the match had to be cancelled. Let us tell you that Team India had made a great start by batting first. Even though Abhishek Sharma was out after scoring 19 runs, captain Suryakumar Yadav and vice-captain Shubhman Gill won the hearts of Indian fans with their amazing batting.

Gill-Surya reduced tension

Shubhman Gill Played an inning of 37 runs in 20 balls, his strike rate was 185. Whereas Suryakumar Yaad played an inning of 39 runs in 24 balls, hitting 2 sixes and 3 fours from his bat. Suryakumar Yadav and Shubman Gill were the major reasons for concern for Team India. Both these players were not in good form but by batting brilliantly in Canberra, both of them have reduced the tension of Team India to some extent.

Now India-Australia match will be held on this

The next match between India and Australia will now be played in Melbourne. This match will be played in Melbourne on 31 October. It is a matter of concern that the threat of rain is looming in Melbourne also. At present there is a 50 percent chance of rain in Melbourne and it may rain during the match. Hopefully that match also does not have the same situation as Canberra.

India were flying high at 97/1 in just 9.4 overs with SKY and Gill in full Skyball flow!

But the rain had other plans, the first T20I ended in a washout. ☁ Still, plenty of positives from that fearless start!#AUSvIND 👉 2nd T20I | FRI, 31 OCT LIVE on Star Sports & pic.twitter.com/TpSkoTRlLD

'Made Australian bowlers cry'

Well, if we talk about Australia, the match was canceled due to rain in Canberra but the 9.4 overs bowled in the match became a cause of concern for them. In fact, Australian bowlers gave away 97 runs on the bouncy pitch of Canberra. Bowlers like Hazlewood, Bartlett, Nathan Ellis, Kuhnemann could not leave their impact. Now Australian bowlers will have to use a different strategy in Melbourne.
