Bangladesh are set to take on India in the first T20I at Arun Jaitley Stadium today but the pollution level in New Delhi is a concern ahead of the match set to begin at 7:00pm local time (7:30pm Bangladesh time).
While there has been some chit chat about it, no concrete news has arrived at the ground regarding whether there is confusion over the match taking place.
For all latest news, follow The Daily Star's Google News channel. The AQI (Air Quality Index) had reached unprecedented levels in India today and an Indian Express report even claimed that the final call on the match would be taken by the match referee on consultation with the umpires at 6:30 pm.
Meanwhile, at the ground itself preparartions for the match are in full swing.
