At the Narendra Modi Stadium, it came pouring down at around 6.30 pm IST, just half an hour before the scheduled time for toss. However, the toss was eventually delayed and for the spectators who came out in large numbers to cheer for their favourite team, it was a rather long and frustrating wait.

There were short intervals when the rain relented, and that allowed umpires to have a look at the ground. However, just when there was a slight glimpse of hope for a positive outcome, rain made its arrival once again and refused to stop.
Despite the rain receding later, there were still puddles on the field, and that meant that the game would be postponed by a day to Monday. The umpires confirmed the official word at 10.55 pm IST.
