Persistent rain in the city has halted play in the India vs Australia 1st T20I, with the situation looking uncertain as of now. Despite hopes of a brief resumption, steady drizzle and wet outfield conditions have prevented any on-field activity for over an hour.
Ground officials have confirmed that the pitch and square remain under covers, and the outfield is heavily soaked. Reports suggest that at least 30 minutes will be required to make conditions playable after rain completely stops.
With time running out, match officials are keeping an eye on the weather to determine if a five-over game can still be played. However, if rain continues for another 30 minutes, chances of any cricketing action will diminish significantly.
The ground staff remains on standby, but as of the latest update, there is no visible improvement in the weather, and no activity near the boundary lines has been observed.
Fans remain hopeful for a shortened contest, but the likelihood of abandonment is increasing with each passing minute.
