With just a few hours to go for India vs Pakistan T20 World Cup clash in Melbourne, the weather conditions have been the major talking points. The latest update from Melbourne can confirm that the conditions are still overcast with a significant amount of rain expected but compared to what the conditions were 3 or 4 days before, the possibility of rain washing out the T20I contest has minimized.
The changing pattern of weather has put the fans in an optimistic position but looking at the conditions we could expect both Rohit Sharma and Babar Azam to come out and lead their respective troops. The rain has also slowed down and the drainage system in the stadium, which is world-class will also be a decisive factor.
