Match abandoned! So, it's another gloomy day in Vienna with the rain continuing to hamper the cricket we have all been looking forward to. The forecast does suggest that the rain should ease out in the middle of the day and the rest of the week mostly, so hopefully we can get some cricket in the coming days. For now, that's all from myself (Pratyush), and my partner, Maanas. You can switch tabs to keep up with the updates for the rest of the games to come throughout the day. See ya!
Right then. The inevitable has happened.After just a couple of overs, the match has been abandoned due to rain.
29 runs coming off that over. That ends the powerplay in a comical fashion with the fielder bailing out of the catch. He wasn't ready to risk it all and took the decision to bail out. Safety first. And that's proved to be a vital moment for the umpires who have decided to take the players off the field. The rain has gotten heavier too, and the conditions obviously aren't safe for the players. So, it is the right decision.

Nourakhan Abdurahimza, right-arm medium fast, comes into the attack
It's pretty cold out there with some players in beanies. Fielding is never easy in conditions like these, so that makes the catch even more impressive. Good start for the Danube here.
