Mumbai, November 11: The seventh and final one-dayer between India and Australia at the D Y Patil Stadium here was today abandoned without a ball being bowled due to heavy unseasonal rains in the wake of a cyclonic storm over the Arabian Sea.
The wash-out of the the day-night encounter meant that Australia clinched the series with a 4-2 margin.
The two teams did not even have to come to the ground. It drizzled continuously since morning leaving the outfield soggy and increased its intensity two hours before the scheduled commencement of the clash.
Rains stopped for a brief while an hour and a half after the scheduled start and the ground authorities were pressed into service for mop-up operations. But even as the job was being done more rains fell.
