Thanks for your reply!
Does it mean that:
on the night of 30March
on the morning of 30March?

Trolley · Answer

But it begins with the word 'evening'? I thought I have to use 'in' to coherent with the word 'evening' which comes first.<img class='emoticon' style='Width:19px;Height:19px;' data-delaysrc='https://uat-englishforward-forums-backend.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/Emoticons/37.gif' src='https://uat-englishforward-forums-backend.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/Emoticons/37.gif' alt='Emotion: thinking'/>

No.  You must pay more attention to semantics and less to grammar—especially with idiomatic expressions.
