Overview
- Heavy rain hit DY Patil Stadium before the scheduled 3:00 pm start, with covers on and a delayed toss confirmed as ground staff monitor conditions.
- Forecasts flag the highest shower risk between roughly 4–7 pm, and the IMD has a yellow alert for the region, raising prospects of interruptions.
- The ICC requires at least 20 overs per side for a same-day result, with DLS/Stern applied for a shortened match and a latest possible start near 9:05–9:08 pm for a 20-over game.
- A reserve day is set for Monday, and any incomplete match will continue then; if the reserve day also washes out, the higher finisher on the points table is declared the winner.
- Multiple outlets report that a complete washout today could see joint winners, while the venue’s sand-based outfield may still allow quick turnarounds if showers ease.
