Fans on Twitter were elated in joy as the weather in Melbourne improves significantly. They expressed their happiness and were excited that they will now be able to witness the full game between the arch-rivals India vs Pakistan in T20 World Cup 2022.
Chances of rain reduced as full India vs Pakistan clash likely to take place
High-octane India vs Pakistan clash is all set to take place on Sunday (23rd October) at the iconic Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG). The match is expected to see crowds in huge number as tickets for the clash was sold out in just 10 minutes
However, a few days ago the game was under scrutiny as the rain was expected to play a spoilsport and there were high chances of it getting completely washed out. The weather department predicted 80% rain on the game day and many expressed their disappointment as they feel that they might not see the game in the tournament. They also urged ICC to reschedule the game.
But in the drastic turn of events, the weather in Melbourne has improved significantly. The sun is shining brightly in the city and as per the new weather report no rain is expected until Monday, which comes as a big sigh of relief for fans, hosts, ICC, and teams.
The game between the two cricketing heavyweights is likely to be a thriller as for the last 12 months they both have been in staggering form. The last time these two faced in the T20 World Cup, it saw Pakistan thumping India by 10 wickets. They also locked horns twice in the recently concluded Asia Cup, which saw both winning one game each.
