In the buzzing anticipation of today’s T20 World Cup clash between arch-rivals Pakistan and India in New York, weather woes have cast a shadow over fans’ excitement.
As per reports from foreign media outlets, the toss is scheduled for 10 am local time, followed by the match kick-off at 10:30 am. The absence of reserve days for group stage matches in this tournament heightens the stakes amidst the looming threat of rain.
Initial forecasts reveal a slight 11 percent chance of precipitation between 8 and 9 am, though this probability escalates as the day progresses.
Weather pundits predict a 15 percent chance of rain at the crucial toss time of 10 am, which surges to 47 percent by 11 am and peaks at a concerning 51 percent by noon.
However, a glimmer of hope emerges as forecasts indicate a gradual decline in the likelihood of rain post-noon. The probability diminishes to 44 percent at 1 pm, further dropping to 25 percent by 2 pm and a promising 20 percent by 3 pm.
Fans fervently cling to this optimistic outlook, yearning for the skies to clear and grant an uninterrupted spectacle of cricketing prowess.
