COLOMBO – The much-anticipated Pakistan vs India showdown in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 is under threat as weather conditions could disrupt the high-profile match. Widely regarded as the biggest fixture of the tournament, the clash has drawn massive attention from fans across the globe, but forecasts suggest rain may play spoilsport.
The important Group A encounter is scheduled to take place in Colombo on Sunday, February 15. However, the excitement surrounding the contest has been clouded by concerns over possible rainfall in the city. Weather updates indicate unstable conditions, with predictions pointing to a significant chance of showers and thunderstorms on the day of the game.
Reports suggest there is nearly a 50 percent likelihood of rain, with approximately 2.1mm of precipitation expected around the evening hours, particularly close to 6pm — the time when the match is likely to be in progress. Such conditions could interrupt play or even lead to a complete washout, disappointing thousands of spectators and millions watching worldwide.
If heavy rain forces the match to be abandoned without a result, both teams will receive one point each under tournament rules. This outcome could affect the group standings and potentially impact qualification scenarios for the next stage.
Despite the gloomy forecast, supporters remain hopeful that the weather clears in time to allow a full game. The Pakistan-India rivalry is considered one of cricket’s most thrilling spectacles, and fans are eager to witness the action unfold on the field.
At present, Pakistan lead Group A with four points after securing victories in both of their matches, placing them in a strong position ahead of this crucial contest.
