Rain stops play in RCB-PW match

Rain stopped play in the Indian Premier League (IPL) match between Royal Challengers Bangalore and Pune Warriors at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium here today.

Sent into bat, Bengalore were 11 for no loss in 1.2 overs when rain interrupted the proceedings.

Chris Gayle and Tilkratne Dilshan were batting on 9 and 2 respectively when the umpires asked the players to go off the field while the covers were brought in.

While RCB are fielding an unchanged side, Warriors have inducted seamer Ishwar Pandey, left-arm spinner Ali Murtaza.

They also brought back Australian all-rounder Mitchell Marsh.
