The toss in the series opener has been delayed because of rain.
There is a steady drizzle at the moment and the pitch and the adjoining square at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium is under covers and it is unlikely that we could have a start anytime soon.
"A wet start to Day 1 in Bengaluru. Heavy rain around M Chinnaswamy Stadium means the toss will be delayed until further notice," said New Zealand Cricket on X.
