Rain delays the match

The start of the seventh One-day International (ODI) cricket match between India and Australia at the DY Patil Stadium in Mumbai on Wednesday has been delayed due to inclement weather.

The possibility of the match being played at all looks remote with heavy rain pouring down during the past 24 hours. A cyclone alert has also been issued by the India Meteorological Department.

Play was scheduled to begin at 02:30 pm. Umpires will now inspect the ground at 5:00 pm and take a decision.

The seventh and final ODI is inconsequential as Australia have already won the series 4-2.

Meanwhile, the first day's play between Board President XI and the touring Sri Lankan side at the Bandra Kurla complex has already been called off.
