SRH skipper David Warner had won the toss and elected to bat but minutes before the match was supposed to start, it started drizling and then there was a steady downpour.
Twice, the rain subsided only to start all over again as umpires Anil Chaudhary and Kumar Dharmasena were frustrated twice while going for inspection.
It will certainly be a curtailed match as and when it starts from now on.
