It started raining before the toss. The situation improved around 9:00 PM and the covers were also taken off the ground. However, it started raining again and the situation worsened.
The cut-off time for a 5-over match was 12:06 AM. The umpires, in consultation with the captains, took a call at 11:00 PM and postponed the match to the reserve day i.e., 29th May.
