3rd Test: Day One’s Play At The Gabba Called Off Due To Persistent Rain
Gavaskar Trophy Test: Persistent rain had the final say in washing out day one’s play of the third Border-Gavaskar Trophy Test at The Gabba on Saturday. Before rain put a halt on the proceedings, Australia reached 28/0 in 13.2 overs, with Usman Khawaja and Nathan McSweeney unbeaten on 19 and 4 respectively.
“Play has been stopped today due to rain. Play will resume tomorrow and all following days at 09:50 am local time with minimum 98 overs to be bowled,” said the BCCI in an official update. Cricket Australia (CA) said they will initiate a full refund of tickets for Saturday’s play as less than 15 overs were bowled, with fans exiting the venue since the longish rain break began.
CA’s policy says single day ticket holders are entitled to a full refund if less than fifteen (15) overs are completed and no result is recorded for the match on the day. In the run-up to the game, weather forecasts had predicted that rain would play spoilsport on opening day of the match.
