The start of play in the third and final ODI between India and Australia at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in Margao on Sunday has been delayed because of wet ground conditions following overnight rains.
The first inspection by the umpires will be held at 9.30 am IST, half an hour after the match’s scheduled start.
Prospects of play after the delayed start looked bright with the sun coming out on Sunday morning, but the local weather bureau has predicted heavy rainfall for Sunday and Monday.
The ground was covered by tarpaulins overnight which protected most parts of it but still there was some seepage in the outfield. Super sopper was used to suck up the water from the covers.
The wicket itself looked dry and fit for play.
India are 1-0 up going into the deciding clash after winning the second match at Visakhapatnam on October 20 by five wickets. The series opener in Kochi last Sunday was washed out.
