Rain ruins proceedings as second Women's Ashes T20I ends in a no result
After a delayed start, the match was reduced to 14-overs-a-side, with Australia winning the toss and opting to field first to make use of any moisture in the surface.
Danni Wyatt and Tammy Beaumont walked out to bat and got the visitors off to a solid start. Wyatt was the aggressor while Beaumont was more cautious in her approach as the visitors reached a score of 25/0 in the 4.1 overs. Australia tried on five different bowlers but captain Meg Lanning could not find the breakthrough, although they kept the scoring rate in check.
Rain would then arrive again and wouldn't relent this time as the match was finally called off. The result meant both teams sharing 1 point each with Australia leading the multi-format series 3-1 with a win in the opening encounter.
The final match will be played again at the Adelaide Oval tomorrow and both teams will be hoping for the rain to stay away from what will promise to be a highly enticing encounter.
