Play is scheduled to start at 8am GMT (7pm local time) and, according to the Bureau of Meteorology, there is a 95 per cent chance of rain across Melbourne on Sunday, with up to 25mm predicted to fall along with the threat of severe thunderstorms.
If play starts on Sunday and is unable to complete, then the game will resume on Monday from where it left off. A minimum of 10 overs per team is needed to constitute a match.
