Rain robs India

Heavy rain forced the second Twenty20 international between West Indies and India at the Central Broward Regional Park on Sunday to be abandoned as a no-result.

After dismissing the world champions for 143, India were 15-0 in two overs when the rain came.

Ninety minutes later, and with the outfield soaked, play was abandoned, much to the irritation of the thousands of expatriates who turned out to watch India's first ever weekend playing in the US.

West Indies claimed the two-match series after winning the first game on Saturday by just one run.

Earlier, West Indies struggled to 143 all out with slow bowler Amit Mishra claiming a career best 3-24.

The Caribbean side had piled up 245 on Saturday in what was the third highest total of all time.

But the Florida pitch -- and eventually the weather -- turned its back on the strokemakers on Sunday.
