The pitch is being uncovered with Kumar Sangakkara first to take a look at it. Players and support staff of Rajasthan Royals are already in the middle.

The rain has finally stopped in Guwahati. The groundstaff, in full force, have started to take out the water with the two super-soppers out in the middle. The fans are still waiting at the stadium, hoping for a curtailed game. Having said that, there are huge puddles of water at some parts of the ground.

It's still raining in Guwahati and we will start losing overs from 8:40 PM IST.

This is how it looks in Guwahati at the moment.

While it continues to drizzle, Ashish Bhowmick (BCCI chief curator) and Abhijit Bhattacharya (ACA curator) are having a discussion in the middle. Another curator, Mukul Kalita, has also joined the two in the discussion. Two super soppers have also been deployed.

The rain has returned at the Barsapara Stadium in Guwahati, thus playing hide and seek, much to the frustration of fans and the players. No player has been able to even warm-up.

It seems like the drizzle has stopped in Guwahati. The Super Soppers are in action on the ground. There are still some damp areas that can be seen. RR captain Riyan Parag is seen walking on the field.

The rain has taken up and it looks like we are here for a long delay. The forecast for the next two hours doesn't look good either.

The rain has picked up once again in Guwahati. The covers are once again on. The toss has officially been delayed at the Barsapara stadium.

The players are yet come out on the ground for warm-ups as its still raining in Guwahati. The covers are on at the Barsapara Stadium.

This is how it was looking in Guwahati at around 6 PM. Mumbai Indians players were really feeling cold with the temperatures dropping to 21 degrees.

Unlike the Eden Gardens, the Barsapara Stadium in Guwahati doesn't have covers to cover the whole ground. Instead, the square, the run ups and the cover and midwicket regions are covered. The rest of the playing area takes the pounding. Big puddles are already visible on the open areas.

However, things doesn't look good at the Barsapara Stadium in Guwahati - Rajasthan Royals' second home venue. It has been raining in Guwahati for long and the ground is under covers. Although the skies were expected to be clear by 6 PM, but it looks like rain is playing hide and seek with the fans and players.

Rajasthan Royals have won both their matches in IPL 2026, under new skipper Riyan Parag. On the other hand, Mumbai Indians have won one and lost one.
