Rain risk peaks near start of India-West Indies ODI in Thiruvananthapuram

The Sporting News

Rain or thundershowers are possible for the Sept. 27 India-West Indies ODI in Thiruvananthapuram, with risk highest around its 2 p.m. start and easing by evening. The hourly outlook lists 32°C at start; the IMD has no formal weather warning for matchday.

Forecasts differ in their exact figures: some trackers put Sunday's overall rain probability at 18%, while the hourly table lists a 50% chance at 2 p.m., falling to 25% by 8 p.m. The article describes a delayed start or rain-affected first session as a more realistic risk than a complete washout.

ODIs use the Duckworth-Lewis-Stern method to adjust targets when overs are lost, and a result is possible only if each team faces a minimum number of overs. There is no reserve day; if rain washes out the match completely, the series continues in Guwahati on Sept. 30 and New Chandigarh on Oct. 3.
