Update on Abhisek Sharma when Team India reaches Colombo
Weather forecasts cast a shadow over the much-anticipated showdown. Atmospheric models suggest adverse conditions could coincide with the match window. According to projections, Colombo faces a 65 percent chance of scattered thunderstorms during the day on Sunday, with the chance dropping to 25 percent in the evening. Temperatures are expected to hover around 28C, accompanied by northerly winds of 9mph and humidity reaching 77 per cent – conditions that could make for a sticky and tough contest.Forecasters also warned of a possible thunderstorm just before the scheduled start, raising concerns about a delayed toss or interruption during the game. In a clash of this magnitude, even a short stop could dramatically change the dynamic.Tournament organizers remain hopeful the weather will hold, but contingency plans are firmly in place. A washout would see the two unbeaten sides split on points, which could complicate the qualifying race in Group A. Colombo’s experienced ground staff, known for their quick response and effective outfield coverage, are on high alert.But forecasters warn that a nearby low-pressure system – which may intensify into a depression next week – is making conditions highly unpredictable. The Met Office has urged fans and the public to watch for further updates as Sunday approaches.
