The Ranji Trophy semi-final between Karnataka and Vidarbha, slated to start on Sunday here at the Eden Gardens, was delayed by half an hour as Vidarbha arrived late. Due to the 25K Kolkata marathon, the Vidarbha team was stuck in a traffic jam and reached the venue at around 8:40 a.m., sources said.
