Bhuvneshwar Kumar had been added to India’s T20I squad as cover for the injured Arshdeep Singh before the decider, according to a news digest.
A match is called off without a result when the umpires judge that play cannot resume in time for a result to be possible, and the points or series are then shared as per the playing conditions.
Under the Duckworth-Lewis-Stern method, a team batting second in a rain-shortened match is set a revised target based on the overs and wickets available, but the method applies only if the chase has started.
Outlook India’s report on the match was published on October 17, 2026.
Olympics.com, Cricketworld and Sports Digest also reported that the series ended 2-2.
The match was played at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru.
