Unseasonal rainfall forced the abandonment of all Round-Two matches of the Dream Sports Mumbai School Sports Association (MSSA) inter-school Giles Shield tournament on Thursday.

The waterlogged Karnataka Sporting Association ground and Azad Maidan were deemed unsafe for play by the umpires.

MSSA secretary Nadeem Memon announced that every team will be awarded a point each.

"Due to the continuous rain, we were not able to continue as per the umpires. We will eventually award each team one point," Memon said.
