India vs Japan T20I Toss Delayed Due to Wet Outfield from Typhoon

The toss for the India vs Japan T20 International match has been delayed due to a wet outfield caused by typhoon Dujuan, which has brought incessant rain to Japan. An inspection is scheduled for 9:45 AM IST to assess playing conditions and determine when the toss will take place.

India's practice session was cancelled due to rainfall, though weather forecasts suggest only a 10% chance of rain during the match. This is a historic fixture as Japan faces India in a T20I for the first time. The series marks celebrations of 75 years of diplomatic relations between the two nations, and provides India preparation ahead of the Asian Games 2026 campaign.

Japan qualified for the 2028 T20 World Cup contention after finishing second in the East Asia-Pacific T20 World Cup qualifier with three consecutive wins.
