The correct form here is "having". After the phrase "despite," we use the gerund form (verb+ing) to express the idea of an ongoing action or state. So, the sentence would read, "Despite having heavy rain, the match continued as planned." Using "had" or "was having" would not be grammatically correct in this context. "To have" and "have" would also be incorrect because they do not fit after "despite."
