T20 WC weather forecast: Incessant rain may play spoilsport during India vs Pakistan match at Melbourne

The highly charged atmosphere of the India and Pakistan T20 World Cup match on Sunday may be spoiled by the rainy weather at Melbourne. Instead of sparks flying, the much anticipated clash might get doused in cold water, courtesy the weather update by the Bureau of Meteorology, Australia.

Just days before the blockbuster clash at the MCG, rain threatens to wash out the encounter, with the Bureau of Meteorology predicting, “High (80%) chance of showers, most likely in the evening. Winds southerly 15 to 25 km/h turning southeasterly during the evening.”

It’s not just the India vs Pakistan match that is under threat as the Australia vs New Zealand encounter in Sydney is also in danger of being washed out.

According to the Bureau of Meteorology, on Saturday in Sydney, there’s “Very high (90%) chance of showers, most likely in the afternoon and evening. The chance of a thunderstorm. Winds northeasterly 15 to 20 km/h increasing to 25 km/h before turning northerly 15 to 20 km/h during the day.”
