The third and last league match of the cricket tri-series between Australia and Pakistan was abandoned in Amstelveen on Wednesday without a ball being bowled due to rains.

Pakistan (nine points) and Australia (6) shared three points each from this game and would now meet again in the final on Saturday, August 28.

India, the third team in fray, are out of the tournament as they just managed three points after their opening game defeat to Pakistan and the rain-abandoned game against Australia on Monday.
