The second Women's One Day International (ODI) between England and India at Lord's Cricket Ground has been delayed due to persistent rain. The toss, originally scheduled for 3:00 PM IST, was postponed, and the match, slated to begin at 3:30 PM IST, also faced delays.
As of the current moment, the weather conditions are unfavorable, casting doubt on the possibility of the match starting on time. However, there remains a glimmer of hope for a shortened game, potentially 20 overs per side, if the rain subsides soon. The latest a 20-over match can begin is 4:08 PM IST.
The weather forecast for today indicates light rain with a 100% chance of precipitation. The temperature is around 62°F (17°C), but it feels like 62°F (16°C) with 98% humidity. While the rain continues, ground staff are working to mitigate the effects of a damp outfield.
This ODI is part of a larger series between England and India. Jhulan Goswami has motivated the Indian Women's team to aim for a 3-0 victory in the ODI series against England.
This delay comes after a spell of heavy rain also impacted the final women's ODI between India and England in Worcester.
