The start of the match between Highlanders and Yadah Stars has been delayed due to heavy rain and lightning.
The teams had initially taken to the pitch, but the referee has called the players off the field due to the adverse weather conditions before blowing for the start of the match.
The question on everyone’s mind ahead of this afternoon’s clash is who will grab the Golden Boot?
Highlanders striker Lynoth Chikuhwa presently leads the scoring charts with 16 goals, but Yadah Stars forward Khama Billiat is hot on his heels with 13 goals. Can he catch up with Chikuhwa? Only time will tell.
The weather has taken a turn for the worse ahead of the match, with heavy rain pouring down.
