Rain has disrupted the proceedings of the fifth and final T20 match between India and West Indies, preventing the toss from taking place on schedule. Both squads are currently confined to their dressing rooms as the inclement weather forces a temporary hold on the proceedings, with the pitch entirely shielded under protective covers.
Although the players arrived at the venue shortly before the scheduled start, continuous precipitation and the heavy presence of covers on the pitch prevented them from beginning their pre-match warm-ups. A light drizzle continues to hover over the venue, creating conditions where play might have ordinarily continued if the teams were already stationed in the middle, but the current weather pattern has made a delayed toss inevitable.
Dark, heavy clouds loom directly above the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru following a spell of light showers earlier in the evening. Ground staff swiftly moved to secure the pitch under multiple protective layers to prevent any water damage. With the original toss scheduled for 6:30 PM, attention now turns to how the weather conditions will evolve and when official updates regarding the match schedule will emerge.
