The Uday Saharan-led Indian colts shared the top honours with their South African counterparts in the Tri-Nation Under-19 Tournament after the title clash was called off due to rain in Johannesburg on Wednesday.
The match officials waited for the designated cut-off time to allow the minimum twenty overs for a result to be achieved.
But because of the wet playing conditions, the final at the Old Edwardians Cricket Ground Club was abandoned without a ball being bowled.
With no reserve day, the prize was shared between both the teams.
