After weeks of drama and Pakistan’s U-turn allowing them to participate, fans were hopeful that the high-voltage encounter between the arch-rivals would finally take place. However, concerns have resurfaced with forecasts predicting adverse weather conditions on match day.
Sri Lanka’s Department of Meteorology has issued a warning for February 15 and 16. The country’s Natural Hazards Early Warning Centre has advised residents to closely monitor weather updates, raising concerns among tournament organizers and supporters alike.
According to AccuWeather, nearly four hours of rain are expected on the day of the match, along with a 26 percent chance of thunderstorms.
With such predictions, the possibility of the blockbuster clash being washed out cannot be ruled out.
If the match is eventually abandoned, both teams will share a point each. For now, fans are hoping that at least a curtailed contest takes place so the iconic rivalry can unfold on the field.
