Dravid is out assessing the conditions and he has a few words with Paul Reiffel, the 4th umpire for the game. The groundstaff are out in numbers now, they could start to remove the covers

It's still dry, no details on toss time yet. A few members from the groundstaff are walking out which is a good sign. They're removing some of the pipes used to keep the covers grounded. Based on previous evidence this morning, Matt reckons they'll have it sorted in the next 30 mins or so.

Prithvi Pragallapati: I think the ICC should revise the rules. When it comes to the knockout stage every team deserve to win the game and progress to the final. There should be a reserve day.

7:37 pmUPDATE - 7.37 pm IST (2.05 pm GMT) -The live visuals from the National Stadium in Guyana show that the weather looks a lot clearer and even though the covers are on, the drainage system is at work and for now, we can only wait. However, let's switch from this game for a moment and talk about the game that took place about half a day earlier. In the first semifinal, Afghanistan and South Africa played each other in Tarouba. The Proteas absolutely dismantled an Afghan side that was high on emotions but a bit low on energy and the men from the 'Rainbow Nation' stormed into their first-ever Men's World Cup final, whether it be an ODI or a T20 one.
