The last match of the five T20 series between India and Australia was canceled due to rain. This match took place at the Gabba Cricket Stadium in Brisbane. The game commenced as scheduled, with Australian captain Mitchell Marsh winning the toss and opting to have India bat first.

Indian players Shubman Gill and Abhishek Sharma were off to a strong start when suddenly, thunder rumbled over the Gabba. Lightning flashed across the sky, and dark clouds diminished the floodlights' brightness. Observing the worsening weather, officials promptly instructed the players to leave the field, and ground staff quickly covered the pitch.

Fans and Players Directed to Shelter

In light of the lightning, fans and players were advised to seek shelter to prevent any potential accidents, as such weather conditions can lead to lightning strikes. Consequently, spectators in the open stands were asked to move to safety.

Only 4.5 Overs Played

Due to the adverse weather at the Gabba, only 4.5 overs were completed. During this brief play, openers Abhishek Sharma and Shubman Gill scored quickly, amassing 52 runs without losing a wicket. Notably, Abhishek Sharma received two reprieves during his innings. By the time play was halted, Abhishek had scored 23 runs off 13 balls, while Gill contributed 29 runs off 16 balls. Ultimately, with the match being called off, India secured the series 2-1.
