Rain will become villain in Indo-Pak match
Seeing the prediction given by the Meteorological Department on the Melbourne ground on Sunday, this match will be like a miracle in itself. There is a shadow of heavy rain on this match. According to Australia’s time, the match is to be organized from 7:30 pm, but according to the forecast of the Meteorological Department, there is a possibility of 85 percent rain in the morning, 75 percent in the evening and 76 percent in the night.
In such a situation, it is clear that rain can be seen throughout the day on the Melbourne ground. Not only this, even if the rain stops for some time in between, then drying the outfield there will be a challenge in itself. According to AccuWeather’s report, the day temperature in Melbourne may be around 23 degrees Celsius on Sunday, while the speed of winds can be 35 km per hour. It will increase to 50 kilometers per hour in the night.
If it rains, will the match happen again?

At the same time, a one-day reserve day has been kept for all the knockout matches. In such a situation, the fans would like the overs to be cut due to rain but they get to see the match. If this does not happen, then about one lakh people who were about to reach the stadium to see it will be heartbroken.
