The match to be played at the Assam Cricket Association (ACA) Stadium in Barsapara in Guwahati on Tuesday was delayed because of the rain that lashed the stadium from early in the afternoon. The rain finally stopped around 9.20 pm, with the players and match officials walking out to check things.

Though the drizzle had picked up slightly in intensity past 7.30 pm, the scheduled start time of the match, the ground staff has removed covers from the side wickets and are working hard to make the field of play ready for the match. The covers have not been removed fully, though the super sopper was out in the field, taking off the extra rainwater from the field before it is made ready for the match.

The match officials will soon be taking a call on when to conduct the toss, and no overs will be lost if the match starts before 8.30 pm.
