LiveIND vs AUS 1st T20I Live Score: Match abandoned due to rain

Much like the ODI series, the T20Is have also begun with an encounter heavily affected by rain, but though we got a result in Perth, the same cannot be said here in Canberra. India end the match on 97/1 with Shubman Gill on 37 band Suryakumar Yadav on 39. The two looked to be in a mood to score big today, however the weather ended up having the final say.

Both the teams are in good form when it comes to the shortest format. While India had recently won the Asia Cup and had also gone undefeated in the tournament, Australia had clinched a three-match T20I series against New Zealand by 2-0. However, the Baggy Greens did record a 2-1 series defeat to South Africa in their previous T20I assignment at home in August.

India and Australia have only played a single T20I so far in Canberra. The match happened back in 2020 and the Men in Blue ended up recording an 11-run victory under the captaincy of Virat Kohli. It remains to be seen if they will be able to make a positive start to the five-match series and keep their 100% win record in Canberra alive.

There are some chances that rain can affect India's series opener against Australia that is set to take place at the Manuka Oval in Canberra. According to AccuWeather, the chances of rain during match hours range from 13% to 25%. Though light rainfall can take place during the match, it is likely that a full 40-over encounter will take place.
