India vs Afghanistan, 1st Match - Live Cricket Score

Finally, some real good news. The rain has stopped. The outfield is completely dry and out come the players for the warm up. 

The BCCI has confirmed that the toss will take place at 5:15 PM IST, with the first ball to be bowled at 5:45 PM IST. 

The game has been reduced to a 25-overs-a-side contest.

With rain being the biggest winner so far, we guess its the time for the richest cricket board to consider weather-proof cricket venues. What do you think?

Patience is running out for not only the cricket fans but star batter Rohit Sharma as well, since he seems to be eagerly waiting for the rain to stop and finally step onto the field to shower fours and sixes from his marauding blade.

Honestly, at this point of time, fans will believe any speculation. However, the clouds over the HPCA Stadium have really gotten us worried. What do you think?

Groundsmen are bringing in additional covers to save the square and outfield from the rain effect.

The super soppers are also raring to do their job.

It seems that this might resume shortly after the rain stops completely.
