Right then, that is it from the game. We only saw two overs in the game courtesy of the rain playing spoilsport here at Buffalo Park. India Women will now play against West Indies Women on Monday, 30th of January before the finals. The game will begin at 6.30 pm IST (1.00 pm GMT). Do join us a bit early for the build-up. Until then, goodbye and cheers!
Update 12.59 am IST (7.29 am GMT) - That's it, the inevitable has happened! THE MATCH HAS BEEN CALLED OFF! The rain gods have spoiled the game. The match was a dead rubber though, as both teams have already made their way into the finals.
Update 12.37 am IST (7.07 am GMT) - Nothing much to update and we haven't had any official updates for quite a while now. We will keep you posted if we have anything. Also, the cut-off time for a 5-over game is 1.30 am IST.
