Dharamsala Stadium Weather Update
Earlier in the day, there were reports that rain would hamper the start of the match and the prediction was spot on. Still there are 75% chances of rain and even Mathew Hayden, who is at the Dharamsala Stadium, remarked that there is rain and a consistent one. He remarked that it is still drizzling and not a heavy downpour.
Luckily, the Dharamsala Stadium boasts a great drainage system and the game would start within 25-30 minutes once the rain stops. Even before the rain made a stop at the stadium, the players were out on the ground, practising for the crucial match.
It is worth noting that the upcoming game is crucial for both teams as they eye a spot in the top four of the table.
