Rain likely to affect Pakistan vs Bangladesh match in Rawalpindi

The Champions Trophy match between Australia and South Africa in Rawalpindi was called off on Wednesday due to continuous rainfall. The match, scheduled to start at 2:00 PM, was abandoned at 5:10 PM without a toss, and the same weather conditions may impact Thursday’s game between Pakistan and Bangladesh.

According to weather reports, Islamabad and its twin city Rawalpindi have experienced sudden weather changes over the last 12 hours, with light rain and a significant drop in temperature, making the weather unusually cold.

The Pakistan weather department had earlier forecasted rain for the week, and Thursday is no exception, with further rainfall expected. The weather may disrupt the last match of host nation Pakistan and Bangladesh, scheduled to be held at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium. 

As conditions are expected to worsen, the match could face delays or even a potential washout, depending on the intensity of the rain. Fans and officials will be hoping for a break in the weather to allow the game to proceed as planned.
