No rain in Colombo right now as NDTV reporter Vimal Mohan reported from Sri Lanka. Few clouds in the sky but it does not seem like it will rain at the moment. However, weather reports did claim that there is a high possibility of rain during the T20 World Cup match.

With Abhishek Sharma set to return to the India playing XI, Sanju Samson will find himself on the bench. However, it remains to be seen whether India opt for an extra spin option with Kuldeep Yadav or continue to put their trust in Axar Patel and Varun Chakravarthy.

“A low-pressure area is likely to form over south-eastern Bay of Bengal around 15th February,” Sri Lanka’s Department of Meteorology said in an official release.

India have an impressive head-to-head record against Pakistan when it comes to T20 World Cups. They have won seven out of the eight encounters and they will be looking to continue their impressive run on Sunday.

When it comes to Sunday morning, AccuWeather predicted a 96 per cent chance of rainfall. Even if ran ends up not impacting the length of the match, it can play a role in how the pitch will play. If rain does come in the morning, it can mean that spin bowling can become extra important for both teams in this match.

"Colombo is a bit cloudy today. We had a light shower last evening, but the forecast for the day is dry. However, elsewhere in Sri Lanka, particularly in the eastern and southern provinces heavy rain after 1 PM. Colombo is in the Western province which is expected to remain dry, but misty conditions at night" - NDTV's Rica Roy reports from Colombo.

The Sri Lanka Department of Meteorology flagged the possible formation of a low-pressure system over the Bay of Bengal and it can lead to significant rainfall during the match.  In an update issued by the Natural Hazards Early Warning Centre, a warning was also issued.

In case of a washout, points will be split between India and Pakistan. As this is a group stage match, there is no reserve day and as a result, fans will not want rain to impact this highly-anticipated encounter.

According to weather reports, there is a 94 per cent chance of rain. While the weather in Colombo has always been quite unpredictable, there is a significant chance of a washout when it comes to today's match.

Welcome to the live coverage of the weather updates regarding the T20 World Cup 2026 match between India and Pakistan. While all cricket fans are waiting eagerly for the encounter, rain can end up having a major say in the outcome.
