  "account": "The IND vs WI 5th T20I at M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru has been abandoned due to rain. Initially scheduled for a full match, the game saw a 2 and a half hour delay before India took the field in a 9 over contest. However, rain again intervened after 7.4 overs, leading the umpires to call the game off. The series concluded in a 2-2 draw after this rain-hit encounter. India posted 118 for five in their innings, but persistent showers forced the match to end prematurely without a result. Despite a promising start from Ishan Kishan and contributions from Shreyas Iyer and Naman Dhir, the match was ultimately abandoned due to the unrelenting weather conditions.",
