MUMBAI – The warm-up match between hosts India and 50-overs World Cup champions England was abandoned without delivering a ball due to rain in Guwahati on Saturday.
The rain started shortly after India’s captain Rohit Sharma won the toss and elected to bat first, and it continued to disrupt the game at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium.
With the cutoff time for play set at 7.30pm local time, match officials waited until shortly before 6pm before abandoning the match.
It was the second warm-up fixture in the south Indian city to be affected, after South Africa’s match against Afghanistan was called off due to rain a day earlier.
