New Delhi, India: November 11, 2009 -  IR Summary/TNN - 

The seventh and final One Day International between India and Australia, which is to be held on Wednesday i.e. today, has been delayed due to unrelenting rains in Mumbai, and there are little signs of its resumption. However, it shall be finally decided at 5 PM.

Though all arrangements are made to cover the pitch, the wet field shall of course cause a big problem for both the teams in case the game gets a green signal.

If the match is abandoned, Australia will win the series 4-2 after coming back strongly from a 1-2 deficit and went on to win three consecutive matches to pocket the series.

The unrelenting rains have been lashing Mumbai from Tuesday night and converted the D Y Patil stadium, the venue of the match, into a water pool.

The Indian morale hit low following successive losses at Mohali, Hyderabad and Guwahati against what is essentially a very inexperienced Australian bowling line-up.

A victory in Mumbai could have be the ideal tonic for India before they lock horns with Sri Lanka in the longest format of the game from November 16 in Ahmedabad, but that would be possible only if weather gods do not play spoilsport.

The rains, which started just past noon on Tuesday, did not allow the Indian team to practice while the Australian team managed to do theirs in the morning.

The main reason for India's slump against an injury-ravaged Australia is lack of consistency in both batting and bowling.
