Tezzbuzz Desk- Earlier there were questions on the schedule regarding the great match between India and Pakistan in the T20 World Cup 2026, but now that the match has been decided, everyone’s eyes are fixed on the weather in Colombo. On February 15, R. The shadow of rain is looming over this high-voltage match to be held at Premadasa Stadium. In such a situation, the biggest question in the minds of the fans is this – will the India-Pakistan match be washed out due to rain or will the game be possible with reduction in overs?
This match between India and Pakistan is to start at 7 pm (Indian time). Since India and Sri Lanka fall in the same time zone, there is no difference between local and Indian time. But the problem is that there is a possibility of rain in Colombo around the same time.
However, the latest updates are a relief. Whereas earlier there was a possibility of heavy rain between 6 to 9 pm, now the possibility of rain has reduced.
According to initial estimates by BBC Weather, the probability of rain at 6 pm on February 15 was 51 percent, at 7 pm 57 percent, at 8 pm 65 percent and at 9 pm 45 percent.
But according to the new update the situation is looking better. There is a 50 percent chance of rain at the time of the toss, i.e. around 6:30 pm. At 7:30 it comes down to 40 percent and by 8:30 it comes down to about 27 percent. The good thing is that the possibility of rain seems to be decreasing as the night progresses.
Colombo’s weather is often considered unpredictable. Light rain may delay or interrupt the start of the match. But looking at the current forecast, the possibility of the entire match being canceled seems less likely.
Even if it rains for a short period, it is possible for overs to be cut under the Duckworth-Lewis rule, which could make the match short but exciting.
India-Pakistan match is not just a cricket match but a confluence of emotions. In such a situation, the biggest relief for the fans is that there are signs of improvement in the weather. There is definitely a possibility of delay in the start of the match or interruption in between, but the hope of the game taking place looks strong.
