India vs Australia 2017: 1st T20I, 5 things we learnt from the match

#2 Rain plays spoilsport

Heavy rains meant that the match was shortened to a meaningless six-over run-chase

Australia had succumbed to 118/8 when rain hit Ranchi hard. Play was stalled for nearly two hours as the players, fans and officials waited with bated breath for the weather to change. At one stage, it seemed like no match would be possible. Even as the rain subsided, the ground staff still needed to dry the outfield. However, they did a commendable job as play resumed with India needing 48 from six overs.

Duckworth-Lewis isn't the most loved system and a six-over, meaningless run-chase brings forward the question of why T20 games are allowed to continue for a minimum of five overs when it should really be at least 10. India nailed the chase in quick time but which team wouldn't with ten wickets and 48 to get in six overs.
