The toss of the match between Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Kolkata Knight Riders at the Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh International Stadium, Raipur, has been delayed due to rain.

Earlier at 6:30 pm local time (1:00 pm GMT), conditions in Raipur had already raised concerns over an on-time start. Rain had lashed the venue for around 30 minutes from 4:30 pm, followed by another brief drizzle at around 6:15 pm.

Most parts of the ground remain under covers, with only a few patches exposed. Although the rain stopped briefly, the covers stayed in place while the super sopper continued working around the field, making an on-time toss unlikely.
