Fans To Get Full Refunds After Rain Plays Spoilsport on Day 1 of IND vs AUS 3rd Test 2024 at the Gabba

Brisbane, December 14: Spectators who left the Gabba frustrated on Saturday will have something to cheer about as they will receive full refunds from Cricket Australia (CA) after only 13.2 overs could be bowled on the opening day of the third Test. The fans, who made it to the venue, will benefit due to a rule that entitles them to get a full refund for tickets when less than 15 overs are bowled during a day's play. This means CA was just 10 balls away from potentially saving itself more than Australian 1 million in refunds. IND vs AUS 3rd Test 2024 Day 2, Brisbane Weather and Rain Forecast: Here's How Weather Will Behave for India vs Australia Border-Gavaskar Trophy Match at The Gabba.

Cricket Australia said that 30,145 fans would receive full refunds since less than 15 overs were completed. The sport's governing body in the country has insurance to cover losses caused by bad weather. Invited to bat by India, Australia ended the rain-marred day on 28 for no loss.

With the rain refusing to relent, play was finally called off at 4:15 pm local time. According to CA's ticketing policy, single-match ticket holders are eligible for a 100 percent refund on their tickets for a full day of a Test match if 15 overs are not completed and also if there is no result. WTC Final Scenarios: How Can India National Cricket Team Qualify for the WTC 2023–25 Final if Rain Washes Out IND vs AUS 3rd Test 2024 at The Gabba?
