Chennai Super Kings (CSK) will play the Gujarat Titans (GT) in the IPL 2023 Final on Monday at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.
08:00 AM – Weather Update
28° at the moment. Mostly cloudy with thunderstorms expected in spots this afternoon. Probability of rain is 40%.
The final, originally scheduled for Sunday, May 28, was postponed by a day after rain did not allow play.
On Sunday, dark clouds started hovering around the arena an hour-and-a-half before the scheduled match start time of 7.30 p.m. And within 30 minutes, fans who had nearly filled three-fourths of the humongous stadium were searching for cover.
The downpour, accompanied by strong winds, relented around 9 p.m., and much to the supporters’ joy, covers went off and players trooped on to the turf for their warm-ups.
But their hopes were quickly dashed as the heavens opened up again and the rain continued intermittently into the night, turning vast swathes of ground into miniature pools.
