In a significant development, the second unofficial ODI between India-A and Australia-A has been halted because of rain at the Green Park Stadium. The rain interrupted the second innings after Australia got off to a flying start.

Notably, India A, batting first, put 246 runs on the board, courtesy of Tilak Varma's 94-run knock under pressure. However, Australia A were cruising towards 48/0 which is when the rain hit Green Park Stadium.

Prior to the rain, a large patch of dark cloud covered the entire stadium and it was moments before heavy rain halted play. Thus, lets look at the weather update of Green Park Stadium.

Rain a major trouble in India-A vs Australia-A series

It is not the first time in this series that rain has interrupted the play. The first unofficial ODI between India-A and Australia-A  was called-off because of rain and the later the game was rescheduled a day later, which India won one-sided.

Further, the poor drainage system at Green Park Stadium makes it tough to start matches on time. Similarly, in the ongoing match, even if the rain stops in time, then the groundsmen require ample amount of time to prepare the ground for the match to resume.
