The team will now head to Chennai for their opening World Cup encounter against Australia on October 8 in Chennai.

Unrelenting rain in Thiruvananthapuram has forced the cancellation of one more warm-up match, leaving both of India's matches disrupted by bad weather. Could the venues have been planned better? 

Just when we thought we might get to see a bit of action. It seems like the wait will be prolonged as some covers are back on the field. We wait...

Covers are coming off the outfield after super soppers did their job. No official update on the toss so far as the weather still looks gloomy with heavy cloud cover over the stadium.

Rain has stopped in Thiruvananthapuram and super soppers are out in the ground. We can expect the official update on the start of play soon.
