India Share Points After SCG Washout

Sydney: Match abandoned after rain forces washout with just 16 overs of play possible at the Sydney Cricket Ground on Monday.

After just 16 overs were bowled at rainy Sydney, India and England are set to play a virtual semifinal on Friday.

The winner of the India-England match on the 30th will go through to the final.

India head to Perth with destiny in their own hands after the Carlton Mid ODI Tri-Series match against Australia in Sydney was washed out.

Persistent drizzle delayed the start of play by 40 minutes, and with the looming threat of more rain to follow, George Bailey elected to field when the coin fell his way.

But only 16 deliveries into India’s innings the misty haze returned to force the players from the field and the covers to be rolled out.

Almost an hour passed before the players resumed battle, and 15 minutes later Shikhar Dhawan was caught at first slip, out for eight to Mitchell Starc's bowling to extend his poor run of form.

Ambati Rayudu repeated his effort from the loss to England last week, this time significantly quicker, reaching 23 from 24 balls before handing Mitchell Marsh his first wicket since November 19 in Canberra against South Africa.

Earlier, Australia have won the toss and have opted to field in delay game.

Hazlewood, Mitch Marsh, Bailey, Warner and Doherty come in for Australia and they replace Cameron White, Shaun Marsh, Pat Cummins, Henriques, and Sandhu. India bring in Ishant Sharma and Ravindra Jadeja in place of Umesh Yadav and Bhuvneshwar Kumar.

Teams:

Australia:
Aaron Finch, David Warner, Steven Smith, George Bailey (Capt.), Mitchell Marsh, Glenn Maxwell, James Faulkner, Brad Haddin (wk), Mitchell Starc, Xavier Doherty, Josh Hazlewood

India: Ajinkya Rahane, Shikhar Dhawan, Ambati Rayudu, Virat Kohli, Suresh Raina, MS Dhoni (Capt. & wk), Stuart Binny, Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel, Mohammed Shami, Ishant Sharma
