Ahead of the match, heavy rain lashed the Providence Stadium, where the two former champions set to take on each other. Guyana has been covered with clouds and witnessing heavy downpours for the past few days. 

 The weather report predicts incessant rain in Guyana with 64 per cent chances of rain at 10:00 am local time just half an hour before the start of the game (10:30 am local time). 

As per the ICC's playing conditions, the latest by which a 20-over game can begin is 12:10 am (IST). The playing conditions also state that each team has to play a minimum of ten overs to constitute a result, unlike the league stage where five overs each side is enough to produce a result as per DLS method.

The latest by which a 10-over game can begin is 1:44 am IST. And, if the game doesn't start by then India will qualify for the final as they finished higher on the points table in their Super 8 group.

Former cricketer Dinesh Karthik, however, shared the good news: "Sun is out and covers are being removed.
