Updated: Sep 23 2022 8:40PM

Nagpur, Sep 23 (PTI) A wet outfield due to overnight rain delayed the start of the second T20 international between India and Australia at the VCA stadium here on Friday.

The city has been witnessing rain for the last few days, leaving the ground soggy, which has forced the umpires to delay the toss.

The two umpires -- KN Ananthapadmanabhan and Nitin Menon -- are concerned about the safety of the players and have already made two inspections of the outfield at 7pm and 8pm but they are still not happy with the conditions.
