The first day of the two-day warm up match between India and Prime Minister's XI was unfortunately called off without the toss taking place after persistent rain in Canberra.

Rohit Sharma and Co were set to take on the Australian PM's XI in a day-night warm up match at the Manuka Oval in Canberra with toss scheduled at 2:10 PM AEDT followed by the first ball bowled at 2:40 PM AEDT.

The two-day day-night match would have helped Team India to prepare for the upcoming pink-ball Test in Adelaide, which is part of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, but the start of the match was initially delayed and later called off without the toss taking place.
