After Gill nailed the slog sweep against Matthew Kuhnemann, Suryakumar picked Ellis apart with successive fours before following it up with a six. At 97/1 after 9.4 overs, India looked poised to finish with a commanding total before rain came down again. This time, there was just no room for play to resume again. The second game of the series is scheduled to be played on Friday (October 31) at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.
