India and the Prime Minister’s XI are gearing up for Day 2 of their day-night warm-up game at the Manuka Oval in Canberra. This match is crucial for Inidia as it serves as preparation for pink-ball Test against Australia in Adelaide. However, the weather has been far from cooperative, leaving fans and players uncertain about the chances of play.

What Happened On Day 1?

On Saturday, November 30, Manuka Oval was washed out. Heavy rain persisted throughout the day, which prevented even the toss from taking place. The poor weather kept players confined indoors while the pitch remained under covers. Eventually, the umpires called off the day’s play under gloomy skies and to make up for lost time, both teams agreed to turn the final day into a 50-over-per-side match.

Ahead of the warm-up game, let us take a closer look at the weather update.
