After rain abandoned the first day (November 30) of India’s tour game against Australia Prime Minister’s XI, the weather for the second day (December 1) isn’t looking promising either. Here's the rain forecast for the second day of AUS PM XI vs IND fixture.
India are playing the two-day tour game before the pink-ball Test in Adelaide starting December 6. They are coming off a historic 295-run win in Perth. Despite being bowled out for 150 in the first innings, Jasprit Bumrah’s 5-30 brought the tourists back in the game by skittling out Australia for 104. Yashasvi Jaiswal (161) and Virat Kohli (100*) then helped India set a target of 534, proving decisive to their win.
