India women vs Pakistan women weather forecast: The spotlight is firmly on India vs Pakistan clash in ICC Women’s ODI World Cup 2025 - the sixth match of the tournament, set to take place at Colombo’s R. Premadasa Stadium.
However, dark clouds are literally hanging over this high-voltage encounter, with heavy rain threatening to disrupt play.
Here’s a look at the weather forecast and how both teams could be affected if India vs Pakistan clash in ICC Women’s ODI World Cup 2025 is washed out.
Weather forecast for Colombo
Rain remains a major concern for Sunday’s marquee IND-PAK fixture. According to forecasts, there is a strong possibility of rain throughout the day, with a 100% chance of showers for nearly two hours.
While the likelihood decreases to around 60% at night, intermittent rain could still last up to 90 minutes. This means there’s a real possibility of reduced overs or, in the worst case, a complete washout if the weather doesn’t improve.
Who stands to gain if rain cancels play?
If India vs Pakistan clash in ICC Women’s ODI World Cup 2025 is abandoned without a ball being bowled, both teams will share one point each. Since the tournament is still in its early stages, neither side would face a significant setback in terms of qualification chances.
India, having won their opening match, currently sit with two points and will maintain a strong position if this fixture is called off. Pakistan, however, are yet to open their account after losing to Bangladesh in their first game. Therefore, a shared point could slightly ease the pressure on them.
One match already affected by rain
Earlier, the fifth match of the tournament - Sri Lanka vs Australia - was washed out at the same venue due to persistent rain, with both teams being awarded one point each. If similar conditions persist, India-Pakistan clash could meet the same fate, much to the disappointment of fans worldwide.
