So that marks the end of our coverage from the final league game of the Super Smash 2023-24 between Otago Volts and Northern Brave. For now, this is Saptak Sanyal, signing off on the behalf of my co-commentator Arijit Kundu and our scorer/analyst Ashok Dayma. Stay tuned to our network as coverages of many games across the world are coming to you.

Hamish Rutherford's debut match- rain interrupted
Hamish Rutherford's last match- rain-washed

After a long wait, the play has been called off.

Arriving for their respective final matches of the league stages, the Otago Brave won the toss and elected to field first. Despite a boundary off the first ball, Andrew Hazeldine was smart enough to get rid of Katene Clark in the next delivery. The gamble to promote Scott Kuggeleijn up the batting order turned out to be a failure in no time after Jacob Duffy rushed him to play a false stroke from the other end. Hazeldine and Ben Lockrose were tight with their line and length and eventually wickets fell in clusters for the Northern Brave. Amidst the halt in play due to rain, the scoreboard read 36/5 after 7.2 overs when the showers returned for a third time to halt play.

11:02 IST and 18:32 Local Time | So we have got the official confirmation. The match has been abandoned.

10:20 IST and 17:50 Local Time | It seems like the covers were peeled off initially but it is back again.

10:02 IST and 17:32 Local Time | Nothing new to update here. We will update you with one as soon as we receive any update. But considering the situation, we might lose more overs as it is already 25 minutes of delay here.

9:37 AM IST and 5:07 PM Local Time: Rain Alert‼️ The covers are coming back again. The players trudge off the field in frustration.

7.2 B Lockrose to F McGregor-Sumpter

1 Tosses it up outside off. Batter pushes it to point for a single.

The ball has disappeared and one of the fielders was searching for the ball. The fourth umpire was strolling into the field with a briefcase full of balls. But wait. The ball has been found and the umpire walks off the field again.

Arijit: Saptak starts off his stint on a bang! What a welcome to him from McGregor-Sumpter! The first six of the innings.

7.1 B Lockrose to F McGregor-Sumpter

6 Lockrose from over the stumps. Tosses it up at the outside off line. McGregor-Sumpter shuffles across to get to the line of the ball and hoicks it over deep midwicket for a huge maximum. The first of the day!

Over to Saptak for the next seven overs.

Andrew Hazeldine finishes with 3 for 20 after his four overs.

1 Length and outside the off. McGregor-Sumpter cuts it towards deep point for a single.
