India vs Prime Minister’s XI match shortened to 50 overs after rain delays Day 1

The first day of the cricket match between India and the Prime Minister’s XI was completely washed out due to rain at Manuka Oval. As a result, the match will now be played as a 50-over game on Sunday. Despite efforts from ground staff, persistent rain led to the abandonment of play around 6:30 p.m. local time. Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese had earlier presented caps to the players before the weather disrupted the event. The match was intended as a warm-up for India ahead of their second Test against Australia, scheduled to start on December 6. The change to a one-day format alters the original two-day plan.
