Indian skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni on Wednesday blamed the rain for the defeat in the first Twenty20 international against Australia, saying the wet conditions made it difficult for bowlers.
India lost the first T20 by 31-run and will have to win the next match on Friday to level the series.
"The weather played a big part in it. In England, we didn't win any tosses and it rained in the second innings and our bowling suffered because of that. This is the first toss I won over here and with the rain forecast I thought we would chase. But then it rained and spinners had difficulty in gripping the ball," said Dhoni in what is turning out to be a miserable summer for him.
"With the rain forecast and with the learning from England, I thought we would chase because the wicket gets better to bat on," he pointed out.
