Rain Threat Looms Over Pakistan Vs India T20 Clash

Excitement was already running high. Now, the weather has stepped in. The Pakistan vs India T20 World Cup 2026 clash at R. Premadasa Stadium faces a 50 percent chance of rain and thunderstorms on Sunday, according to the Colombo weather forecast.

Storm Clouds Over Colombo

Nearly 2.1mm of rain is predicted. That may not sound alarming, but in a high-stakes contest, even a brief interruption can rattle momentum. Groundsmen will be on alert. Fans will keep glancing upward.

Honestly, you could feel the tension building the moment the forecast surfaced.

If conditions worsen and play cannot resume, both sides will share a point under tournament rules. Few saw this coming. The focus had been on politics and scheduling hurdles. Suddenly, the conversation is about cloud cover and drainage.

Points Table Twist?

A washout would push both teams to five points in Group A. India currently lead on net run rate, but the bigger picture remains steady. Qualification for the Super Eight stage would still look secure.

That one moment flipped everything, not on the field but in the forecast charts.

History leans heavily towards India in this format. Out of 16 T20 internationals, they have won 13. Pakistan have managed three victories. In T20 World Cup meetings, the gap is just as wide.

But none of that matters if the rain wins. For now, the cricket world waits. And watches the skies over Colombo.
