Relentless rain in Melbourne meant the second T20 International between Australia and India had to be abandoned after the hosts had finished with 132 for seven off 19 overs. There was a brief exchange of words between Virat Kohli and the umpires who did not stop play even as it started raining heavily in the 18th over. The first T20I in Brisbane was also affected by rain but play was possible after the match had been reduced to 17-overs-per-side.
