Weather update:
According to one local media report, the weather forecast for today also looks grim with rain expected. "Skies will often be cloudy through Wednesday, with further heavy showers at times. Some brighter interludes are possible between the showers though," the report said.
How to decide the winner:
Weather permitting, the game will continue where it was halted as New Zealand will complete their 50-over innings before India complete theirs. The match may be shortened dependent on conditions.
According to the International Cricket Council, India have to bat for at least 20 overs for the match to be completed. If after the reserve day the match has still not reached a result, India will progress to the final given their higher finishing position in the group stage.
