According to weather updates from AccuWeather, Rawalpindi was expected to see up to 70% cloud cover and a 42% chance of rainfall earlier in the day.
While the probability of rain drops significantly by evening, poor drainage and a limited number of ground covers at the venue could still delay proceedings.
Even if the rain stops in time, conditions on the field may require multiple inspections before a decision is made about the match.
Any disruption could affect team strategies and tournament momentum.
Supporters from both sides will be hoping the skies clear up, allowing for an uninterrupted match and another exciting chapter in this year’s PSL.
