With both Rapchiks and the Rebirds geared to go up against each other in a very anticipated encounter, it was the other 'R' that ruled the day - Rain. With heavy overnight rains the Bloomington ground was damp and pitch was soaked. It would take about a couple of hours of sunlight to dry up the pitch atleast, but it looked like sun was on a vacation (is that possible??..where would sun go for its vacation). The bowlers run-up leading up to the wickets was hosting a puddle of water that could prevent the best of the bowlers from delivering.
Without any hope of cricket being played for the day, a few members of the two teams met at the venue and consequently decided that the match will be rescheduled for another day, possibly after July 4.
The Redbirds face off with the knights on June 30th. Watch this space for more.
