The toss for the India vs West Indies fifth T20I has been delayed due to rain in Bengaluru. The drizzle has reportedly become heavier, with ground covers remaining in place as players from both teams wait inside their dressing rooms. Neither side has started its warm-up drills because of the wet conditions.

The stands are around 50 per cent full, with the spectators being entertained by the stadium DJ while they wait for the weather to improve.
