The match could start in perhaps 30-40 minutes, the groundstaff are at work. Expect a shortened match since the overs are being lost, but fans would take anything at the moment.

  IND vs NZ 2nd ODI: Overs set to be lost, know the cutoff time

  Unfortunately, a full 50-over-per-side game would be difficult now, such has been the extended break, the cutoff time for a 20-overs-per-side match is 12 PM IST. Right now the fans would also take a decent 20-overs per side T20 sort of match as well.
