There is a 'high risk' of rain; will the match between India and Pakistan proceed?

After several days of uncertainty, Pakistan made a decision on February 10. They will compete against India in the T20 World Cup. The match is set to occur on Sunday (February 15) in Colombo. However, will the match actually take place? Following the emergence of hope after navigating through political challenges, concerns about the weather have arisen. Rain could significantly hinder the match on Sunday. The weather forecast indicates a 'high risk' of rain in Colombo on that day. Various forecasting agencies suggest that rain may occur during the match as well. The possibility of disruption to the game cannot be dismissed.

The forecast predicts a 93 percent likelihood of rain in Colombo throughout the day on Sunday. There is also a 26 percent chance of thunderstorms. The anticipated total rainfall could reach approximately 12.1 millimeters. Consequently, the field and outfield may remain wet due to rain for a considerable portion of the day. Nevertheless, there is some positive news for the evening. The forecast suggests that the chance of rain may decrease to 13 percent in the evening. This implies that the risk of heavy rain at the beginning of the match is relatively low.

Up to this point, both teams have secured victories in their respective matches in Group 'A'. India, under the leadership of Suryakumar Yadav, is performing exceptionally well, while Pakistan also exudes confidence. The victor of this match will significantly enhance their chances of qualifying for the Super Eights. However, if the match is called off, both teams will receive one point each, potentially introducing a new dynamic to the group standings.
