It is disappointing but we cannot overcome natural calamities,&quot; Thakur was quoted as saying by ESPNcricinfo.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size:14px\"><span style=\"font-family:arial\">&quot;Even though the host association was hopeful of staging the match, if the weather cleared, the BCCI didn&#39;t want to take any risk.&quot;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size:14px\"><span style=\"font-family:arial\">Severe cyclonic storm &#39;Hudhud&#39; hit the country&#39;s east coast earlier Sunday and left six people dead. Authorities in Andhra Pradesh evacuated 90,013 people across the four districts of Srikakulam, Vizianagaram, Visakhaptnam and East Godavari, while about 68,000 people were evacuated from coastal districts of Odisha.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size:14px\"><span style=\"font-family:arial\">The BCCI had earlier over-ruled the possibility of shifting the ODI due to logistical issues.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size:14px\"><span style=\"font-family:arial\">After the first two matches, the series stands levelled at 1-1. The opening match was won by the visitors, who thumped India by 124 runs.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size:14px\"><span style=\"font-family:arial\">But in the next ODI in Delhi, the hosts levelled the series with a 48-run win.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n",
