India clinches 2-1 T20 series victory over Australia after another washout
BRISBANE: Shubman Gill’s India squad will take confidence out of a rain-marred 2-1 series win over Australia ahead of the Twenty20 Cricket World Cup it is co-hosting with Sri Lanka early next year. India raced to 52 without loss in 4.5 overs in Game 5 before lightning forced players and officials off the field at the Gabba on Saturday night. The rain set in soon after, and the match was called off more than two hours later without a further ball being bowled. Shubman Gill plundered the bowling, stroking six boundaries as he scored 29 off 16 deliveries. Abhishek Sharma had two reprieves and was 23 off 13, including a flat-batted six over mid-wicket. It was the second washout of the series, after Game 1 in Canberra was abandoned after 9.4 overs on Oct.
