Win Projections to be updated soon
Day 1 of the two-day pink-ball match between Team India and the Prime Minister’s XI was a washout owing to persistent rain. The possibilities of playing on day one were slim, as a continuous drizzle hung over the location from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m.
Notably, the Indian squad made their way onto the field but were unable to participate. It’s worth noting that the rain did stop briefly, and the covers were also being ripped off. However, significantly harder rain fell at 7 p.m., indicating that there would be no play on day one of the battle.
As day two neared, the game was projected to be a 50-over affair, according to The match will begin at 2.40 p.m. on Sunday. Tickets to Saturday’s play will be refunded. Interestingly, the pink ball encounter against PM’s XI was India’s last opportunity to practice with the pink ball before the Border-Gavaskar Trophy’s second Test (BGT 2024-25).
