The change will see the scheduled hours of play being 1.30-9.15 p.m., said tournament director Brendan McClements.

"This change has been made to provide the maximum opportunity for the game to be completed in the event of a weather interruption," said McClements in a statement.

"Umpires will now have 90 minutes of extra time available to use in the event of a weather interruption, allowing for play to be extended till 10.45 p.m."

However, alterations, if any, of the final match of September 24, now scheduled to start at 3 p.m., will be announced later in consultation with the host broadcaster.

The change was made with the full support of match referee Chris Broad, the umpires, the teams, the Board of Control for Cricket in India, which is also playing tournament host, the Malaysian cricket board and the host broadcaster, Zee Sports.
