Over in cricket,
The final 1-day international between India and Sri Lanka was called off yesterday, because of unfit playing conditions in New Delhi.
Sri Lanka who were sent in to bat, were 83-5 in the 24th over.
That's when the umpires stopped play with officials deeming the surface too treacherous for play to continue.
Australian match referee Alan Hurst called off the game, after discussions with the umpires and local officials.
The match was academic as India held an unassailable 3-1 lead in the series.
