Rain had the final say in the series-decider at Bengaluru, with an already-truncated game needing to be abandoned after just 7.4 overs.

At 10.21pm, a fresh bout of rain ended India's innings prematurely, and the game as a result, prompting handshakes as series honours were shared at 2-2.

Consistent rain across the city initially delayed the toss for two-and-a-half hours. It eventually relented for a nine-over shootout, necessitating a relentless approach from India's batting star-cast.
