Cricket fans are anxiously waiting for the high-voltage cricket action between Pakistan and India in the ICC Men’s Twenty20 World Cup starting today in Australia. However, the weather forecast says that the most popular match is likely to be washed out.
The two teams will face each other on October 23 at the famous Melbourne Cricket Ground in Melbourne.
However, the weather forecast says heavy rain is expected in Melbourne on Sunday [October 23] — the day Pakistan and India are scheduled to play their group match.
After being placed in Group 2, both teams will look to outmatch their opponents to make it to the next round. The other teams in their group are Bangladesh and South Africa. The group will have two more teams that will join after participating in the qualifiers.
Bilateral cricket between the arch-rivals has been suspended due to their bitter political relationship. However, cricket-crazy nations welcome sporting events whenever they take place or whenever two teams clash in multi-team tournaments.
A report said that all the tickets for this match have been sold. In case of losing the match, both the teams will get one point each.
The weather forecast agency said wet weather is expected in Melbourne starting on Thursday. Three states of Australia are affected by rain these days. The weather in the country is also cold.
