The highly anticipated cricket match between India and Pakistan is set to take place at the R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo on February 15, 2026, under the ICC Men's T20 World Cup. Currently, the focus is not on the players or strategies but on the weather, as rain poses a significant threat to the match, impacting millions of cricket fans. The conditions in Colombo show cloudy skies without any immediate rainfall, but earlier forecasts warned of heavy rain and thunderstorms that could interrupt the game.

According to the latest reports from the Sri Lankan weather department, the likelihood of rain during the day in Colombo seems low, which could be a relief for the fans eagerly waiting for the clash. However, there is a chance of light mist in the evening. It’s noteworthy that while the eastern and southern provinces might see heavy rains, Colombo, situated in the Western Province, is expected to have relatively drier weather. This update is essential for teams and spectators alike, as the match is scheduled to start at 7:00 PM local time with the toss at 6:30 PM.

Fans have expressed anxiety regarding the weather's impact on this much-anticipated match, as cricket matches between India and Pakistan always draw significant attention and viewership. Any disruption caused by rain could not only affect the game’s outcome but also have broader implications on the tournament structure. The cricketing world waits with bated breath to see if the rain will indeed play its part as the 'villain' in this high-stakes encounter.
