The match is expected to begin on schedule. The weatherman though has said that there is a slight possibility of a light shower in the evening.

However even if the match is called off due to rain -- there is a reserve day (Thursday) when the match can be played.

Hundreds of cricket crazy fans could be seen at the gates of the Mohali cricket stadium on Tuesday. And no, they did not come to cheer their respective teams do net practice. All they wanted was one ticket to watch the semi-final.

Ticket prices soared as fans tried to pull all strings to watch the much-hyped match.
