Bridgetown, Barbados: Fans began arriving at Kensington Oval in bright sunshine on Saturday ahead of the T20 World Cup final between India and South Africa.
The final concludes a near month-long tournament and features two teams who have been unbeaten throughout the competition.
The possibility of stormy weather over the weekend, with some rain forecast for Saturday, had raised concerns among organisers but as early arrivals began taking their seats there was no sign of precipitation.
The 28,000-capacity venue, regarding by many as the spiritual home of West Indies cricket, is expected to be sold out with many Indian fans travelling from afar for the match.
The toss is scheduled for 10.00am local (1400 GMT) and even if some showers pass through, the expectation is that the reserve date of Sunday will not be necessary.
