New Delhi: Arch rivals India and Pakistan are set to get in action for a cracker game just a day before Diwali! While the blue squad’s last warm up match against New Zealand was abandoned owing to the rains, Pak’s practice match against Afghanistan was washed off too. And hence there lies a possibility of the forthcoming Ind vs Pak match being interrupted by the rains.
According to Australia’s Bureau of Meteorology (ABM), the region is likely to receive showers on the match day with a high probability of 95 per cent. The rains are expected to occur in the noon and evening.
