Betting Online - The seventh and final One Day International between India and Australia was delayed due to persistent rains in Mumbai on Wednesday.With heavy rains showing no signs of relenting, the match is unlikely to go ahead.
The final decision is expected at 5 p.m. IST, which is the cut-off time. Both the teams have been instructed to stay inside the hotel.
The square and the surrounding areas have been put under cover and the wet field is soggy.
If the match is abandoned, Australia will win the series 4-2 after coming back strongly from a 1-2 deficit and went on to win three consecutive matches to pocket the series.
The unrelenting rains have been lashing Mumbai from Tuesday night and converted the D Y Patil stadium, the venue of the match, into a water pool.
The Indian morale hit a low following successive losses at Mohali, Hyderabad and Guwahati against what is essentially a very inexperienced Australian bowling line-up.
A victory in Mumbai could have be the ideal tonic for India before they lock horns with Sri Lanka in the longest format of the game from November 16 in Ahmedabad, but that would be possible only if weather gods do not play spoilsport.
The rains, which started just past noon on Tuesday, did not allow the Indian team to practice while the Australian team managed to do theirs in the morning.
The main reason for India's slump against an injury-ravaged Australia is lack of consistency in both batting and bowling. - Sports Gambling
While the Indian top order has fired only in fits and starts, with the blazing hundreds from skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni and Sachin Tendulkar, who also completed 17,000 ODI runs in the process, being the shining beacons, the bowling too has not performed in total.
