Sad news, it has been raining out there for the last couple of hours.

Match State: Match start Delayed due to rain

10:15 local, 14:15 GMT The rain has stopped. The Umpires, Derrell Hair (Australia) and Roger Dill (Bermuda) are inspecting the ground and the moppig operations are undergoing in the areas around the pitch.

No signs of sun anywhere, outfield is not that bad, drainage system on this ground is pretty good.

11:30 local, 15:30 GMT Umpires are again on the field, covers have been removed, but area around the pitch is quite wet, saw dust is being spread

No news about the start yet, keep checking the updates

12:15 local, 16:15 GMT Unfortnately a light drizzle has started and the covers are back on the square. I'll have updates for you as and when I receive them.

12:50 local, 16:50 GMT Good news, covers are being removed. Umpires have decided to start the game at 13:30 local (17:30 GMT). It would be a 30 overs game.

13:10 local, 17:10 GMT As soon as both the captains went in to toss, it started drizzling again, covers are back on. They have deferred the toss.

14:12 local, 18:12 GMT The Umpires, after doing the last inspection, have called off the game, even though it has stopped raining because it would take long to dry up the area around the pitch.

It would not be possible to have even a 20 overs game.

Please do join us on Friday, July 6th for the Canada vs UAE ICC-Intercontinental Cup match.
