Rain consistently drenches Bengaluru, threatening the fifth and final T20 International between India and West Indies. The match, a high-stakes finale, faces a potential washout as the game enters uncertain territory. The toss scheduled for 6:30 PM IST has been delayed, casting a shadow over what was meant to be a much-anticipated showdown.
The persistent rain has resulted in a reduction in the number of overs, leaving teams with limited time to complete the contest. The latest cut-off for play stands at 9:41 PM IST. If the teams cannot take the field by this deadline, the match will be called off. Despite attempts by ground staff to prepare the playing surface and outfield, the precarious weather conditions continue to pose significant challenges.
With a minimum of five overs per side generally required for a result, the shrinking window for play leaves officials with little room to adapt the schedule. Even if conditions improve, further time will be needed to ensure the ground is safe for the players. The series decider, which marks Bengaluru's first international cricket match in two years, now hangs in the balance as the rain continues to pour in Bengaluru.
