India vs Australia XI Practice Match Cricket Score: India vs Australia XI. (Source: BCCI/Twitter)IND vs AUS XI Practice Match: The start of India’s only warm-up match for the Test series against Australia was delayed by torrential rain on Wednesday, with the four-day clash against a Cricket Australia XI unable to get underway on Wednesday. According to BCCI, the play will begin 30 minutes before the start time on Thursday.
Storms battered the New South Wales coast on Wednesday morning, flooding streets, railway stations, and homes as the extreme weather caused commuter chaos, grounded flights and left hundreds of homes without electricity. The play was impossible at the Sydney Cricket Ground, where the tourists are scheduled to play a non-first class tour match against an understrength representative side featuring just one international, D’Arcy Short.
