‘Technical reasons’ delay start of Windies vs India T20 match

LAUDERHILL, Florida (CMC) — The start of the second Twenty20 International of the two-match series between West Indies and India has been delayed by nearly an hour, officials have announced.

The match was scheduled to start 10:00 am Eastern Caribbean time at the Central Broward Regional Park Stadium but the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has reported a delay because of “technical reasons”.

A 30 minute delay was first announced followed by an extra ten minutes with the new start time now set for 10:40 am Eastern Caribbean time.

India won the toss and have sent West Indies in to bat as the Caribbean side hunts for a second victory to propel the into second position on the ICC rankings after a thrilling one run win over the Indians on Saturday.
