Threat of Rain for India vs. Pakistan? Bad Weather Reports Indicate There's a Chance

India and Pakistan will play each other in a T20 World Cup Group A encounter on Sunday at the Nassau County Cricket Stadium in New York, rekindling their long-standing rivalry. The team captained by Rohit Sharma entered this game fresh off an 8-wick victory over Ireland. In the meantime, Pakistan, captained by Babar Azam, lost their prior match of the major event to the United States in the super-over. India's recent performance has given them an advantage over Pakistan, but they are aware that their injured arch-rivals cannot be taken for granted.

But according to the present forecast, there is a good chance that Sunday will bring rain to New York. Thirty minutes after the match begins, at 11 AM local time (8:30 PM IST), Accuweather's forecast indicates a fifty-one percent chance of rain.

Given that it's a day game, additional time will probably be allotted in the event that the weather causes a delay or disruption. It is extremely improbable, though, that the players will hold off on starting the game until the afternoon.

Even if the current weather forecast indicates that rain may disrupt the game, there's a very good chance that spectators will see the entire 20-overs-a-side action.

India captain Rohit Sharma was hit in the left thumb during the net session, just before the team's highly anticipated blockbuster match against arch-rival Pakistan. However, the skipper returned to practice after the team's medical staff provided him with aid.

After the 37-year-old captain was struck on the thumb during a net practice, the team's medical personnel responded quickly to provide treatment. When the ball struck Rohit's thumb, he removed his glove to assess the damage, and the staff doctor quickly arrived to examine the captain of India. The Indian captain went back to full swing in the nets after the examination.

Notably, India began their campaign with a victory over Ireland by eight wickets on the same surface. The captain finished the game with a strike rate of 140.54 and 52 runs off 37 balls, however his knock was short-lived as he was forced to leave the crease following the conclusion of the tenth over due to an injury.

The pitches being used at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York for the ongoing ICC T20 World Cup have not been as consistent as anticipated, the International Cricket Council acknowledged in a statement released on Thursday after much discussion about the field. The groundsmen were working hard to find a solution and provide the "best possible surfaces" for the remaining games.
