All eyes are on Colombo as India face Pakistan on February 15. But before the first ball is bowled, the weather has become the biggest talking point
Between 4:00 PM and 6:00 PM IST, heavy rain and thunderstorms are forecast. Rain probability during this window stands between 50% to 70%. Dark clouds gathered early, with floodlights switched on at R. Premadasa Stadium
By the 7:00 PM IST start time, rain chances are predicted to drop to just 9%. Clouds are expected to clear, raising hopes of a full match
Passing showers before the toss (6:30 PM IST) could delay the start. If rain lingers, we may see a reduced-overs contest
There is no reserve day for this group match. If washed out, both India and Pakistan will get one point each
India currently sit on top of Group A with 4 points and a strong Net Run Rate. A washout would almost confirm their Super 8 qualification. But fans will be hoping rain doesn’t steal this blockbuster clash
