The long-standing cricket rivals Pakistan-India are scheduled to play again on Sunday at the Nassau County Cricket Stadium in New York as part of Group A of the T20 World Cup, despite the possibility of rain postponing the match.
The squad captained by Rohit Sharma will be playing in this game after defeating Ireland by eight wickets. In contrast, Pakistan’s squad, captained by Babar Azam, suffered a heartbreaking defeat to the United States in their opening match of the major tournament.
India has an advantage over Pakistan because of their previous performance, but it’s also vital to take into account that their wounded arch-rivals for granted.
Notably, the present prediction indicates that there is a strong likelihood of rain in New York on Sunday. According to Accuweather’s forecast, there is a 51% chance of rain around 11 a.m. local time, which is 30 minutes after the match begins, as reported by NDTV.
Since the game occurs during the day, extra time may be allocated if the rain causes a delay or interruption. However, it is not anticipated that the participants will wait until the afternoon for the action to begin.
In addition, there’s a good chance that spectators will witness a whole 20-overs-a-side play, even if the current weather forecast indicates that rain is expected to cause delays to the game.
In addition, Indian skipper Rohit Sharma was struck in the left thumb during the net practice before the much awaited big match against Pakistan.
The skipper did, however, return to practice after getting medical attention from the team’s medical staff.
When the ball struck Sharma’s thumb, he removed the glove to receive the punch. The India skipper was checked by the staff medical team as they hurried to the stadium. Following the examination, the Indian captain resumed his full-swing net practice.
