Mumbai Indians have opted to bowl first after Hardik Pandya won the toss against Rajasthan Royals in Guwahati. The match has been reduced to 11 overs per side due to rain. The powerplay will be off just 3.2 overs.

Good news! The rain has stopped at the Barsapara Stadium and some players are out there in the middle doing their warm-ups.

According to Cricbuzz, puddle patches are now prevalent all over the ground because of the urgency to remove the covers with the water still persistent on the field. This could make it difficult for the groundstaff to dry out the playing area.

It still continues to rain on and off in Guwahati with LIVE visuals showing that it has not stopped raining yet. We are less than two hours away from a cut-off time for a five-over game (10.56 pm)

The overs will start getting reduced from 8.40 pm IST, which is 10 minutes from now. For now, the waiting game still continues.
