The stage is set at the R. Premadasa International Cricket Stadium for the most anticipated fixture of the 2026 T20 World Cup. Defending champions India are scheduled to face arch-rivals Pakistan tomorrow, February 15. While the stadium is officially "Sold Out," fans are keeping a nervous eye on the Colombo skies as meteorologists predict significant rain interruptions.
The Sri Lanka Department of Meteorology has flagged a low-pressure area in the Bay of Bengal, which is expected to bring showers across Colombo on Sunday. Forecasts suggest a 50% to 70% chance of rain during the match hours.AccuWeather predicts 100% cloud cover, which could assist swing bowlers but also leads to higher chances of thunderstorms.
Since this is a group-stage fixture, there is no reserve day. If the match is a total washout, both teams will share one point each.
Both teams enter this clash with winning momentum, making the stakes for the top spot in Group A even higher.
