India made a flying start, reaching 52 without loss in just 4.5 overs, before heavy rain brought an abrupt end to the fifth and final T20I against Australia at The Gabba in Brisbane on Saturday.

Persistent showers and lightning eventually forced the match to be abandoned, handing India a 2-1 victory in the five-match series.

The outcome extends India’s dominance over Australia in T20Is, marking their fifth consecutive series win against the hosts. Openers Abhishek Sharma (23* off 16) and Shubman Gill (29* off 13) set the tone with an aggressive opening stand, but the weather had the final say — resulting in the second no-result of the series.
