India vs Australia: 5th ODI at Cuttack unofficially called off due to rain

The fifth one-day International between India and Australia is likely to be called off on Saturday morning after the umpires inspection as there was no let up from rain for the last five days. "We don't have the right to call the match off officially. But we have already announced the dates for ticket refund which obviously means the match has been officially abandoned," OCA secretary Asirbad Behera said on Friday. The last one-day in Ranchi was also abandoned after 4.1 overs of India's chase of 296 as Australia continued to hold on to their 2-1 lead in the bilateral series. Umpires Nigel Llong from ECB and S Ravi of India along with Match Referee Roshan Mahanama from SLC will take the call at 11am tomorrow, Behera added. "It's likely that the players won't turn up tomorrow and only the officials would come to make the announcement." The OCA secretary also has spoken to the Board president N Srinivasan to shift the three-day practice match between the touring West Indies and Uttar Pradesh CA from October 31 which now is likely to be moved to Mumbai. "The team is scheduled to arrive on October 29 and looking at the ground condition, it's impossible to make it ready in time. I spoke to the president and put forward an official request to shift the practice match," Behera said on a disappointing note. The OCA, which is hosting an International match after two years, is set to lose about Rs.3 crores, Behera said. "We are hopeful to recover it through the insurance." OCA paid a sum of RS 3 lakh to insure ground and properties of the Barabati Stadium for a whopping sum of Rs.20 crore. Giving a break-up of the insurance components, Behera said the stadium has been insured for Rs.5 crore for standard fire and peril policy while the spectators and visitors have been covered under public liability insurance policy for Rs.7 crore. The special contingency insurance policy would cover the remaining Rs.8 crore, he added.

Its good in a way, now we need to win 2 out of 2 to win the series. Earlier winning 2 would only mean drawing the series at 3-3.
