India vs SA, 3rd ODI: Toss delayed due to wet outfield in series decider

New Delhi: The toss in the third ODI match between India and South Africa has been delayed at the Arun Jaitley Stadium due to a wet outfield after the heavy downpour Delhi received in the past few days.
Both the teams are geared up to play the final match of the three-match ODI series but the wet outfield has caused a delay in the match and kept the cricket fans waiting for what promises to be a thrilling encounter. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) took to Twitter to make the announcement.
"UPDATE from Delhi - Toss has been delayed. There will be an official inspection at 1:30 PM IST," tweeted BCCI.
The series is poised evenly with South Africa winning the first match while India making a comeback in the second ODI on Sunday.
South Africa won the first ODI by 9 runs in a rain-curtailed match, with India running them close, thanks to a brilliant display of batting by Sanju Samson. David Miller and Heinrich Klaasen starred with the bat for South Africa helping them put up a formidable total.
The Indian team put on a clinical performance in the second ODI to hand the Proteas a crushing 7-wicket defeat and tie the series 1-1. Shreyas Iyer smashed a brilliant unbeaten century to take India home with Ishan Kishan narrowly missing out on a century.
Both sides previously played a T20I series between September 28 to October 4, which India won 2-1.
