Pakistan vs England Weather Update: Will rain play spoilsport in PAK vs ENG Kandy T20 World Cup Super 8 clash?

NEW DELHI: The highly anticipated T20 World Cup Super 8 match between Pakistan and England in Kandy is expected to take place under favourable weather conditions, with little chance of rain disrupting the contest.

With both teams fighting for crucial points, the forecast suggests that the weather will not play a major role in determining the outcome of the match.


According to weather reports, the temperature in Kandy during the match is expected to be around 19°C, offering cool and comfortable conditions for players.

The skies are forecast to remain mostly clear, which should provide good visibility and consistent playing conditions throughout the evening.

Winds are expected to be light, blowing from the south-southeast at around 6 km/h, with gusts reaching up to 13 km/h.

These wind conditions are unlikely to have a significant impact on batting or bowling, although fielders may need to adjust slightly during high catches.

Crucially, the probability of rain stands at just 13%, while the chance of thunderstorms is even lower at 3%. With no rainfall predicted, the likelihood of delays, interruptions, or a reduced-overs contest remains minimal.

This means both teams can prepare for a full 20-over match without concerns about Duckworth-Lewis scenarios or shortened play.

Overall, the weather forecast points to stable and ideal cricketing conditions, allowing fans to enjoy an uninterrupted encounter between two top cricketing nations.

As rain is unlikely to play spoilsport, the focus will shift entirely to pitch conditions, team selection, and on-field performances as Pakistan and England battle for supremacy in this crucial T20 World Cup Super 8 fixture.
