Rain plays spoilsport as India clinches the series

Bengaluru, October 4: India beat England 2-0 in the three match T20 series here in Bengaluru after the third match of the series was abandoned due to heavy rain.

Skipper Ajay led from the front picking up four wickets giving away only 6 runs. No play was possible after the break as heavy rain started to pour down in the garden city.
