COLOMBO: (UrduPoint/Pakistan Point News-Feb 15th, 2026) The likelihood of rain during the highly anticipated Pakistan-India match in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 has gradually diminished, raising hopes of an uninterrupted contest between the arch-rivals.
The marquee fixture is scheduled to be played today at the R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo, widely regarded as one of the biggest encounters of the tournament.
Earlier forecasts had predicted rain at various intervals throughout the day in Colombo. However, updated reports indicate that the chances of rainfall have steadily decreased.

“Rain is not in our control, but if the overs are reduced, we have planned accordingly,” he said.
With improved weather prospects, expectations are high for a thrilling contest between the traditional rivals in Colombo.
