The much-awaited Pakistan vs New Zealand T20I series opener in Rawalpindi is under the shadow of rain disruptions, according to recent weather forecasts.
The Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) paints a concerning picture for the opening match scheduled for today. The forecast predicts a high chance of rain, with estimates ranging from 60% during the day to a staggering 80% at night. This raises significant concerns about the smooth running of the first encounter.
While the impact on the match remains to be seen, cricket fans and officials alike will be keeping a close eye on weather developments throughout the day. Updates are expected closer to the scheduled start time, allowing for informed decisions about the game’s status.
Looking ahead to the rest of the series, the second T20I on April 20th also faces a chance of rain, with forecasts indicating a 49% probability of precipitation. However, there’s a sigh of relief for fans eager to see the action unfold, as the weather seems to improve for the third T20I scheduled for April 21st, with the rain chance dropping to a more manageable 19%.
The series then shifts to Lahore for the remaining two matches on April 25th and 27th. All T20Is are scheduled to commence at 7:00 PM Pakistan Standard Time (PST).
