India's T20I preparations for their historic match against Japan have been hampered by severe weather conditions, with Typhoon Dujuan forcing the team to cancel their training session the night before the crucial fixture. Upon arriving in Japan ahead of the September 22 clash and the Asian Games, Team India appeared fatigued, carrying their luggage themselves.
As Typhoon Dujuan moved towards Japan's Pacific coast on Monday, the country braced for torrential rain, strong winds, and a heightened risk of landslides in the Kanto region, which encompasses Tokyo and its surrounding areas. The Japan Meteorological Agency warned that the storm's impact could intensify rapidly as it approached.
The historic one-off T20I match, part of celebrations commemorating 75 years of diplomatic relations between India and Japan, is set to take place at the Sano International Cricket Ground in Tochigi Prefecture. This landmark fixture marks India's maiden encounter with Japan in men's international cricket and is highlighted by the Suzuki Cup.
