Summary
The marquee clash between arch-rivals India and Pakistan scheduled to take place on February 15 at the R.Premadasa Stadium, now faces the looming threat of rain.
Amid all the political hysteria going around the high stakes Indo-Pak game, the interest level for the match have gone through the roof not only among the fans but also among common people.
Unfortunately, the weather prediction in Colombo on Sunday could wipe out all the hopes of a riveting clash. Sri Lanka's Department of Meteorology has issued a cautionary warning to the residents to stay at home on Sunday as a low pressure area could form over the Southeastern part of Bay of Bengal, which could lead to heavy rains and thunderstorms in the country.
According to weather predictions, there are 65% of chances of rain during the day and 25% during the night, along with potential thunderstorms, which could not only delay the match but also result in a potential washout.
Team India Reached Colombo
India, who played their last match against Namibia in Delhi, have reached Colombo today for the match against Pakistan. India will have only one practice session on February 14 to get used to the conditions before the big match on Sunday.
India could play an extra spinner in the form of Kuldeep Yadav or Washington Sundar in the playing XI, given the spinning conditions Colombo has dished out so far.
