New Delhi: There is a Group A match of India vs Pakistan at Premadasa Stadium tomorrow, Sunday, 15 February 2026, at R. Colombo, and due to the weather, everyone is a little nervous. The Sri Lankan Meteorological Department has issued an alert that a low-pressure area may form in the southeastern Bay of Bengal around February 15. This has increased the chances of rain, and it could hamper the high-voltage match or even result in a complete washout. The eyes of both players and fans are now fixed on weather updates.
Sri Lanka's Natural Hazards Early Warning Center has said that low pressure is likely to form in the southeastern Bay of Bengal around February 15. It is not clear yet how much direct impact it will have on Colombo, but as a precaution everyone is on alert mode. There has been a pattern of rain in Colombo in the afternoons in the last few days, so the concern is justified.
According to AccuWeather, there may be light rain about two hours before the match, i.e. around 5 pm. But the chances of rain during the match (starting at 7 pm local time) are said to be low. The sky will be cloudy, the temperature will be around 27-30 degrees Celsius, and the humidity will be around 70%. Some reports mention a 50-70% chance of showers or thunderstorms, especially before the match. Ground staff will have to be prepared—if it rains, the game may be delayed or shortened.
Both India and Pakistan are invincible so far. India recorded a close call win against America, where Suryakumar Yadav's innings came in handy, and then defeated Namibia by a huge margin. Pakistan defeated America handily after a tough fight with Netherlands. Both the teams would like to take a strong step towards Super 8 with two wins each. This match can be very important for the top position in the group.
There have been 8 matches so far in the T20 World Cup – India won 7, Pakistan's only win came in Dubai in 2021. This time also the fans are expecting the same intensity. Hopefully the rain stops and the entire match takes place.
