Pakistan vs England T20 World Cup 2026 Super 8: Will rain derail Salman Ali Agha’s side in Pallekele?

Pakistan’s Super 8 campaign started on a wrong note, with their opening fixture of the 2026 T20 World Cup being called off without a ball being bowled at the R. Premadasa Stadium on Sunday. The rain washed away their hopes of starting strong, and now Salman Ali Agha’s team will head to Pallekele for their next assignments against England and Sri Lanka.

Pakistan will be hoping for clear skies as they move from Colombo to Pallekele, wary of the rain that has already plagued their semi-final chances. Another abandoned match could leave Pakistan on the brink, making it nearly impossible for the 2009 champions to make it to the semi-finals.

But there is some good news for Pakistan as the forecast for their clash against England on Tuesday evening at the Pallekele International Stadium looks encouraging. The temperature is expected to hit a high of 34 degrees Celsius, with only a 25% chance of rain. However, there is a small chance (6%) of thunderstorms.

Pallekele’s humidity is expected to be high, hovering around 78%, but as the evening sets in, rain chances are predicted to drop to a mere 13%. All signs point to a full contest between Pakistan and Harry Brook’s England on Tuesday.
