After being put into bat, India were 69 for two after 16 overs when play
was stopped due to rain at 5pm local time (11:30 IST) and after a wait
of three hours the umpires decided to call off the match.
The two teams take two points each from Monday's match, which means that the final league game between India and England on January 30 at the WACA in Perth will be a straight knockout for a chance to play Australia in the final on February 1 at the same venue.
Unbeaten Australia, who have 15 points after Monday's no result, have already qualified for the final while winless India and England have two and five points respectively. A team gets four points for a win.
India had lost to Australia and England in their first-leg matches of the double round robin format tournament.
The start of the match was delayed by 40 minutes due to drizzle since morning and there was first rain interruption at 3:30 pm local time (10 am IST) when India were six for no loss in 2.4 overs.
