India vs Pakistan World Cup clash at the Old Trafford in Manchester on Sunday (June 6) might be hit by 🐲scattered showers throughout the day.
Though the rain⛄ stopped pouring in on Saturday afternoon but still there are dampened 💯areas on the field.
The weather forecast early on Sunday shows continuous rain whic𝓀h took a halt at around 05:00 am (local time) in the morning.
Considering the importance of the Indo-Pak match, the toss might taꦰke place early.
The Manchester sky might clear down at around 12:00 (local time) in the afternoon after some drizzle for 2 hours from 10:00 am onward💜s. If the outfield permits and the super soppers can dry up the wet patches, we might see a shortened match.
The World Cup 2019 has already seen four matches abandoned due to rain for which the International Cricket Couܫncil (ICC) was criticised by the fans from all across the globe.
Despite rain playing spoilsport, the ICC feels that factoring in reserve days would make the tournament a “logistical nightmare”.
“Factoring in a reserve day for every match at the ICC World Cup would significantly increase the length of the tournament and practically would be extremely complex to deliver,” ICC Chief Executive David Richardson said in a statement.
Richardson further said, “This is extremely unseasonal weather. In the last couple of days, we have experienced more than twice the average monthly rainfall for June which is usually the third driest month in the UK. In 2018, there was just 2 mm of rain in June but the last 24 hours alone has seen around 100 mm rainfall in the south-east of England.
