During the first ODI of the ongoing Sri Lanka’s tour of Pakistan in Karachi, the toss has been delayed citing incessant rain in the city since the last few days. Originally slated to begin at 3:30 PM (IST), the match is yet to see any development.
While it is still drizzling in Karachi, the match will take another two hours to begin from hereon provided it stops raining. It is also reported that there are wet patched on the ground which will need extra efforts to let the match start.
Given the importance of the match, a washed out fixture would be the last thing which the Pakistani cricketers or fans would want to see. It is for the first time in a decade that international cricket is being played in any other venue outside of Lahore in Pakistan.
With all the three ODIs slated to be played in Karachi in the next week, fans would be desperately praying that the weather remains clear throughout the day.
