The much-anticipated Group A clash between Pakistan and India in the ICC T20 World Cup 2026 faces potential disruption due to unpredictable weather conditions in Colombo, Sri Lanka, 24NewsHD TV reported on Saturday.
Scheduled for Sunday evening, the marquee encounter has seen both teams intensively preparing for what promises to be a high-voltage contest. However, meteorologists have warned of a low-pressure system forming over the Bay of Bengal, raising the likelihood of rain during the match.
Forecasters predict hot and humid conditions in Colombo during the morning, with temperatures reaching 30–31°C.
Scattered thunderstorms with rain are expected throughout the afternoon, with precipitation chances ranging from 50 to 70 percent.
The match is set to begin at 7:00 pm local time, but heavy rain prior to the toss could delay the start or even shorten the overs.
Some weather models indicate a slight improvement in conditions after 8:00 pm, although intermittent showers are expected throughout the night.
In the event of a washout, both Pakistan and India would be awarded one point each.
