India and Pakistan have reached Colombo for their eagerly awaited T20 World Cup encounter at the R Premadasa Stadium. For a brief moment, there were doubts about the match taking place as the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) decided to boycott the match in protest of Bangladesh being eliminated from the tournament. But after talks with the International Cricket Council (ICC), the PCB changed its mind and decided to go ahead with the match. The India vs Pakistan matches are always full of passion and drama, but this time, the pre-match controversies and the handshake controversy have made this match even more tense. Big Call Taken by ICC Also Read | Former Cricketer Warns Of Key Threat Before India vs Pakistan Clash Before the major match, the International Cricket Council confirmed that India and Pakistan would have separate training sessions in Colombo. Pakistan's training session will be from 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM, and India will have their training session later from 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM. The ICC did not reveal the reason for the separate training sessions, whether it was due to the recent controversy or if it was planned earlier. It is a common practice for teams to have separate training sessions, but their training session timings can sometimes overlap. But given the recent tensions between India and Pakistan, the ICC might have deliberately kept a one-hour gap between the training sessions to avoid any problems. Could This Benefit India? Having a night practice session will give India a slight advantage because it will allow them to get accustomed to how the conditions in Sri Lanka might be during the night match. It will also give them a better understanding of the pitch when the lights are on.

Rain Threats Remain High However, simultaneously, there is a severe threat of rain looming large over the match. Weather forecasts have indicated a 94 percent chance of rain on Sunday, which has raised severe concerns. If the forecast turns out to be correct and the match gets washed out, it would result in severe losses for the ICC, as well as the two teams. In that case, India and Pakistan would both advance to the Super 8 phase.
