The warm-up match between Prime Ministers XI and India, originally planned as a two-day fixture, has been rescheduled as a 50-over game on Sunday following persistent rain on Day 1. The match, set at Canberra’s Manuka Oval, will now begin at 9:10 am IST, with the coin toss scheduled for 8:40 am IST.
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) announced the update on X (formerly Twitter), confirming the revised format and timing. “Update: PM’s XI v India – Manuka Oval Play has been abandoned for Day 1 and will resume tomorrow (Sunday) at 9:10 am IST. Coin toss will be at 8:40 am IST. Teams have agreed to play 50 overs per side,” the BCCI posted.

The practice game was intended to help both teams prepare for the upcoming matches in the prestigious Border-Gavaskar Trophy. Despite the setback on Day 1, the 50-over match is expected to provide valuable game time for players ahead of the high-stakes series.
India enters the warm-up game on a high, having staged a remarkable comeback in their previous series. After suffering a series whitewash against New Zealand at home, India delivered a dominant performance against Australia in Perth, securing a massive 295-run victory despite being bowled out for just 150 runs in their first innings.
