Cricket gets a Warm Welcome with a Good Shower
The continual shower at London meant that the Cricket matches scheduled to start got a good amount of delay. But since the format supports even a 6 over per innings, the officials are awaiting for the rain to come down so that the events starts. The umpire gave an official announcement which says if the rain comes to an end by 20:00 hours, all the four matches which were scheduled today will be managed, with 5 over per side.
If the rain continues till the end of the day, there would be just a one off quarter finals, which means if you lose, you are out. All the cricket fans are awaiting a Olympic cricket game, where the rain is showing off its power. Lets hope that there is a possible game.

LOL, it should be six overs, which is the minimum extent to which a T20 match can be truncated. I'll edit..

India v Australia
Australia win the toss and choose to bat first.
And the action started as soon as umpires decided to start the match with ten over per each side. Each bowler will get maximum of two overs and power play period of three overs. At the toss, Cameron White decided to bat first, since the pitch was very hard and he stated that out field was wet, which will get even worse as he was expecting a rain interruption in the match.
Sehwag gave the new ball to Zaheer Khan, with the openers David Warner and Shane Watson taking the responsibility of the Australian batting. Zaheer Khan failed to get the early break through in his first over. He was economical though, he conceded just 5 runs of the first over. Umesh Yadav was respected with three consecutive by David Warmer, after which he gave strike to Shane Watson. Watson left a ball alone and then hit the last ball for a six over the long on.
Shane Watson hits the first six of the tournament.
Zaheer Khan came on to bowl his full quota as he was given the second over. Warner greeted him with a one bounce boundary over deep mid wicket, followed by a single. Watson played decent shots, which were straight into the hands of some or the other player who were inside the circle. He bowl a wide ball, which was stopped by Robin Uthappa with an excellent dive towards his left. The last ball was also a duck, which meant Zaheer Khan conceded 10 runs with an extra to his name.
Yusuf Pathan was introduced, he bowled at right line and length, which made the Aussies struggle to score more than run a ball. He conceded 6 runs of his over. The run rate was exactly at 6, at the end of the fourth over. Meanwhile, at the other end, Irfan Pathan was introduced, who restricted the batsmen to score just 7 runs of his 6 balls. The last ball was turned into two, where David Warner dived, to get in before the ball stuck the stumps. It was a third umpire decision, as Billy Bowden couldn't judge it- it was turned down. Yusuf Pathan was given the ball for the second time, but this time, the Aussies didn't show mercy on him. He was hit for two consecutive boundaries by David Warner, where Warner was unlucky as the ball fell short of boundary line by a meter in both the occasions. Total of 12 runs were extracted off the Yusuf Pathans second over, making his figures 0-18.
Ravichandran Ashwin was introduced in the 7th over. He delivered couple of unplayable balls, but stillm Aussies managed to get 8 runs from Ashwins over, which took them to 51 at the end of the 7th over. Irfan Pathan was handed the ball for the second time, but he was hammered by both the batsmen- this time. Warner showed no mercy on the sowthpaw as he was hit for four boundaries. Trying to play a right handed shot, David Warner did a mistake as the could make it in time. As a result, he was given out as LBW, which meant Irfan Pathan took the very first wicket in the Olympics. Brad Haddin came in at 3, trying to hit the ball as hard as he could.
Ashwin continued his spell, but the same Irfan story repeated. He was banged for 11 runs, in his over, which meant Australia were seeming to score somewhere near 90's in their allotted 10 overs. And in here, Ashwin couldn't even pick a wicket. He ended 0-19. Umesh Yadav was given the final over, where he bowled pretty well, allowing the batsmen to score just run a ball.
Australia Ended at 84 runs for the fall of one wicket, Warner was the top scorer for them with 38 runs including 7 boundaries. Watson scored 36 and Haddin scored 8 runs. Irfan got the only break through.

There is some error which is not counting the extras as the runs conceded by the bowlers themselves:/.

I don't think it's a big deal for India to chase 84 down.

India need 17 runs from 6 balls.
India started off high, as Gautam Gambhir and Virender Sehwag were in aggressive mood. The Delhi duo scored 20 runs in 3 overs of time, after which, Gambhir stuck an awesome straight drive off Taits fastest ball, which came at 163.8 KM/H. The very next ball was a nightmare to Gauti as the ball came even faster, at 165.2 KM/H, which made Shaun Tait take the top two spots of the fastest balls bowled in international cricket. The ball being a yorker, Gautam Gambhir couldn't play that as the ball hit the middle stump. The stump was uprooted, luckily, the stump wasn't broken even though it was hit at deadly pace. Gautam Gambhir departed for personal score of 10 runs. Virat Kohli was welcomed with a slower delivery by Tait, which came at 120 KM/H. The next ball was hammered by Kohli himself for a boundary through extra covers.
The next over by Brad Hogg was a decent one, as Hogg answered everyone who questioned his place in XI. He gave away just 4 runs off the six balls he bowled. The batsmen couldn't hit boundaries or even score two runs, as the bowling was strictly to the field. Steven Smith was handed the ball, which changed the total scenario of the match.
Sehwag had different ideas on how to treat Steven Smith.
Requiring 53 runs from 5 overs, Steven Smith was handed the ball to bowl the 6th over of the match. Kohli rotated the strike, and Sehwag had different ideas to treat Smith. He hit a huge 114 meter six over long on, which was followed by another six over deep mid wicket. The distance this time was truncated, as it traveled 88 meters. This six was followed by yet another sixes, making it three sixes in a row. This time, it was sent back straight over the bowler. The ball hit the LED sight screen, which was found to be slightly damaged. The dead pixels showed white, which seem to distract the batsmen, for which the play was stopped for a while. The LED unit was moved out of the area, and the play resumed. The next two balls were bowled at pace over 115 KM/H, which was unexpected. Steven Smith was bowling medium pace, which kept Sehwag away from scoring runs.
Hogg was given the ball to complete his quota, where he provided a breakthrough as Kohli was forced to play a unplayable ball. He was clean bowled, as the leg stump was down. He just conceded 2 runs of that over, which made the match too interesting. Rohit Sharma tried to get the required run rate, and he eventually failed as he gave away his wicket to Hogg attempting for a six over long on. David Hussey didn't make any mistake in taking an easy catch. Kohli and Rohit Sharma departed for single digits of 7 and 1 respectively. Steven Smith was hammered again for 14 runs, but this time, Suresh Raina was back in the pavilion run out. He called for a risky single, which Sehwag ran for. The ball was given to the end Raina was running and it was so close, the standing umpire couldn't judge. The third umpire declared it out, as he was inches short of the crease. Uthappa and Sehwag played for a while, added 13 runs in no time.
Shane Watson was introduced, with 18 required from 12 balls. Sehwag, trying to finish things off in the 9th over itself, hit a huge shot, which landed safely in the hands of the skipper, Cameron White. Yusuf Pathan got a golden duck, as he was clean bowled. Shane Watson missed his hat trick, as Irfan Pathan ducked the two deliveries, of which one was a wide. Just one run off the 19th over meant that Aussies were on top.
India need 17 runs to win from 6 balls.
