Is the match cancelled?

The rain doesn’t seem to go away right now. The ground staff covered the whole stadium during the innings break. But the covers were taken off as the rain had stopped. However, the rain is back and may wash away the match.

During this fiasco, people are also talking about the DL method and what could be the target if the overs are reduced.

Let us give you an idea.

Number of overs	Target
45	254
40	239
30	203
20	155

It should be noted that the match officials cannot reduce the number of overs below 20. Otherwise, it cannot be considered a match. And they have to wait till 10:30 to take the match down to 20 overs.
