At the current ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026, India and Pakistan will play their third group stage encounter on Sunday, February 15, 2026. Rain is a possibility for the highly anticipated World Cup match at R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo.
On Sunday, February 15, Colombo will have 100% cloud cover with an approximate 13% chance of rain in the evening, according to AccuWeather.
The toss is planned for 6:30 p.m., and the India vs. Pakistan T20 World Cup match is scheduled to begin at 7:00 p.m. local time. Notably, Colombo has a 49% chance of rain at 6:00 p.m., one hour prior to the game.
AccuWeather predicts 100% cloud cover and a 9% chance of precipitation in Colombo at 7 p.m. It is anticipated that the situation would remain unchanged until 11:00 p.m. local time.
Since there is no reserve day for the India vs. Pakistan group-stage match, both teams will receive one point apiece if the game is called off.
Obviously, it would be a special one for everyone, Ishan Kishan stated prior to the India vs. Pakistan match. Therefore, the upcoming game isn’t the only thing on our minds. However, once we arrive, we assess the wicket and determine what kind of match it will be and what a good total will be. We then adjust our play appropriately.

Unstable weather may develop concurrently with the main event, increasing the possibility of delays or a shortened game, the Natural Hazards Early Warning Center has warned. According to a statement from Sri Lanka’s Department of Meteorology, a low pressure area is likely to form over south-eastern Bay of Bengal around February 15.

The R Premadasa Stadium has full ground covers, which is good news for fans since once the rain stops, play can normally continue in about 20 minutes. Frequent disruptions, however, can still result in fewer overs and a shorter match.
