Weather update ahead of Islamabad United and Multan Sultans clash in PSL 10

Islamabad United are set to face Multan Sultans in the ongoing PSL season 10. The clash is scheduled to take place at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium. However, weather conditions in Rawalpindi have raised concerns over a possible delay or interruption.

Islamabad United, led by Shadab Khan, have started their campaign on a high note, winning two matches in a row. Their strong performances have made them early favourites in the tournament. In contrast, Multan Sultans began their season with a disappointing loss to Karachi Kings, who chased down a huge target thanks to a brilliant century from James Vince.

As both teams prepare for this high-voltage showdown, dark clouds have taken over the Rawalpindi skies, and early rain showers have already affected the ground. 

There was a 70% cloud cover over the stadium this afternoon, and the chance of rain was around 42%. The pitch had been fully covered as a precaution, and thunderstorms have also been predicted.

While the rain has temporarily stopped, officials are still closely monitoring the conditions. There is hope that the weather might improve as the day goes on, with weather reports lowering the chances of rain to just 1% by evening.

However, concerns remain due to Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium's poor drainage system and limited ground covers. These issues may lead to multiple inspections of the outfield before match officials can confirm whether a full game can take place.

Fans will be hoping for clear skies as Islamabad United and Multan Sultans gear up for what promises to be a thrilling contest.
