IRELAND AND INDIA’s third T20 international fell foul of the Dublin rain on Wednesday, forcing the final match of the series to be abandoned before a ball could be bowled.
India had already secured a 2-0 lead and series victory with wins in front of sold-out crowds in Malahide last Friday and Sunday.
But after giving their illustrious visitors a right scare in Friday’s rain-disrupted first match, Ireland had hoped to avoid a series sweep and finish on a high.
Action had been scheduled to get underway at 3pm, but that start time was pushed back by the inclement weather on Wednesday afternoon.
