Co-hosted by India and Sri Lanka from February 7 to March 8, the tournament features 20 teams across groups, with top two advancing to Super 8s. India, led by Rohit Sharma, boasts stars like Virat Kohli, Jasprit Bumrah, and Suryakumar Yadav, fresh off strong starts against USA and Namibia. Pakistan, under Babar Azam or a new captain, relies on Shaheen Afridi's pace, Naseem Shah's swing, and Fakhar Zaman's fireworks. Their head-to-head record stands at 8-7 in India's favor in T20Is, but Pakistan won the last two World Cup encounters.
The 40,000-capacity Premadasa Stadium, known for spin-friendly pitches and dew factors, sets the stage for high-scoring drama. Yet, Colombo's notorious monsoon-like weather threatens interruptions. AccuWeather forecasts persistent cloud cover (100%) all day, with temperatures peaking at 88°F (31°C) and dropping to 74°F (23°C) by evening.
Colombo Weather for February 15
Rain remains the prime concern. Hourly data shows low morning risk (7-27% until 8 AM), escalating to peak showers: 60% at 10 AM (0.09 in rain), 64% at 11 AM (0.16 in), 61% at 1 PM (0.20 in), and 63% at 5 PM (0.06 in). Afternoon sees 49% chances around 2-6 PM, with overcast skies and moderate winds (NE 6-9 mph). Daily outlook predicts passing showers and 94% cloudiness, potentially delaying the toss or innings. Dew could aid chasing later, but DLS method looms if rain persists.
Fans pray for clear skies as fireworks erupt off-field too. A win catapults either side atop Group A alongside USA, Netherlands, and Namibia battles. Stay tuned - cricket's greatest rivalry battles the elements today.
