Rain forecast in Melbourne
It is rainy season in Australia right now. The warm-up match between India and New Zealand was also canceled due to rain. Now it is being speculated that it may rain during the match between India and Pakistan. There is a possibility of rain throughout the day in Melbourne on Sunday. The match between India and Pakistan is to be played from 7 pm local time. The chance of rain at that time is 70 percent.
What are the rules for rain?
In the 2019 World Cup, when it rained during the semi-final between India and New Zealand, that match was played the next day. But there is no reserve day for the match between India and Pakistan. That is, if the match is not completed on 23 October due to rain, then it will be considered canceled. In this case, the points will be divided equally between the two teams.
Big blow for fans
If India and Pakistan do not compete then it is a big blow for the fans. Bilateral series is not played between the two teams. The two teams face only in ICC and Asian Cricket Council matches. After the T20 World Cup last year, two matches were played between the two teams in the Asia Cup this year. The last ODI match between India and Pakistan was played in the 2019 World Cup.
