The duo, Kohli and Suryakumar, walked back the field unbeaten on 62 and 51 respectively while holding their arms aloft, having a chuckle and reminding people of the warm bond between the two best friends. On Friday, Suryakumar Yadav posted a video on his Instagram reliving his last-ball six and half-century celebration with Kohli against the Netherlands.

Moreover, with the Men's T20 World Cup being rain-hit this week, the unpredictability of the weather has to be countered too, with light rain and dark clouds hovering around in Perth. In this backdrop, the Perth Stadium is all set to witness an intense clash between India and South Africa for the race to be toppers of Group 2 in Super 12s on Sunday.

Sunday will see Perth Stadium hosting an important Group 2 clash between table-toppers India and second-placed South Africa where previous matches have been low-scoring and pitches providing pace and bounce which makes many remember the famous WACA Stadium.

Finch entered the ICC T20 World Cup at home struggling with form and his poor run has continued in the showpiece tournament as well, with the 35-year-old scoring 13 off 11 balls and 31 off 42 in the two matches Australia have played. The third game, against England, was abandoned. O'Donnell, who played six Tests and 87 ODIs, said Australia need someone like Smith to guide them.

Pakistan's chances of reaching the semifinals of the T20 World Cup are now hanging by a thread after losing to Zimbabwe by one run in their second Super 12 match at Perth on Thursday.

As things stand now, New Zealand, England, Ireland and Australia are all level with three points though the Black Caps have played two matches while the others have played three. Sri Lanka and Afghanistan are placed fifth and sixth respectively with two points each. New Zealand are the only unbeaten team in Group 1 after two matches.

Earlier in the day, another Group 1 match between Ireland and Afghanistan was also abandoned without a ball being bowled due to rain. Now, just like Afghanistan and Ireland split points, England and Australia will now share points from Friday's washout. The toss for the clash, which was supposed to be at 6:30pm Melbourne time, was delayed ahead of an inspection at 7.30pm local time.

Both teams will now receive a point each. Friday's match takes the tally of games being abandoned due to rain this week to three. In Afghanistan's case, it is their second straight no-result after the washout against New Zealand at the same venue on Wednesday.

Before the start of the tournament in Australia, Sammy had written in his column for the ICC that one could expect something special from a young West Indies side led by Nicholas Pooran. But the side were a pale shadow of their illustrious past self, losing to Scotland and Ireland in Hobart to make an early exit from the showpiece event.
