Match cancellation tomorrow due to rain will mar Australia's chances of squaring off the ODI series 1-1 and it will be a double embarrassment for Australia by losing in both the formats of cricket in India. Though it is not a regular rainy season in Goa but an out of turn rain is predicted by the local Metrological department which may disrupt match for few overs or totally wash it out as it happened in Kochi.
It will be after more than two decades that Australia had a double defeat in any country. Rain started yesterday evening in Goa and was going on till midnight. It started raining again in the morning after just a few hours it had stopped. Due to this frequent rain the two teams could not even have substantial practice session in the ground either yesterday or today. The sky is still not clear and Met department is also not very confident of no rain happening further according to their report.
The win in the test series by 2-0 and in the ODI series leading by 1-0, India definitely has an edge over Australia. Though bowling was not very impressive in the second ODI but the fire in batting line was quite visible.
With first ODI washed out and a win by India in the second ODI thereby taking the lead in ODI series by 1-0 in this three ODI series reduced to two ODI series, Australia will go back with a bad mood and low esteem if tomorrow's ODI does not take place due to rain and India winning the ODI series by 1-0. At least Australia will have a fair chance of squaring off the ongoing ODI series 1-1 if tomorrow's ODI happens and Australia is able to win the match.
