US EditionT20 World Cup 2026: What Happens if IND vs PAK Game in Colombo Is Washed Out Due to Rain?
Rain threatens to affect the India-Pakistan ICC T20 World Cup match in Colombo with a 65% chance before the 7:00 p.m. start; no reserve day means points will be shared if abandoned.
- On February 15, the India-Pakistan game is scheduled at the R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo, with the toss at 6:30 p.m. IST and start at 7:00 p.m. IST amid a 49% rain risk at 6:00 p.m. and 9% at 7:00 p.m. under 100% cloud cover.
- Colombo forecast shows a 65% daytime rain chance and thunderstorms, with up to four hours of showers from the Bay of Bengal, risking play at R. Premadasa Stadium.
- Because group-stage matches lack a reserve day, ICC tournament playing conditions require at least five overs per side for a result, or teams share one point and broadcasters face likely losses.
- ICC officials even travelled to Lahore to convince the Pakistan Cricket Board after an initial boycott call, reflecting how off-field political tensions entwine with India-Pakistan cricket contests.
- Fans face the risk of a washout, as conditions are forecast to remain similar until 11:00 p.m. in Colombo, with dark patches of showers nearby.
