The pitch and ground are covered, with the umpires monitoring the situation after the toss had been made on time. Pakistan won the toss and opted to bat, reports AFP.

Light drizzle turned heavy, and overs began to be lost after more than an hour and 10 minutes’ delay.

If no play is possible by the 10:16pm cut-off time for a five-over match to begin, the contest will be declared a no result with each side getting one point.
