ISLAMABAD (PEN) : It seems like the first T20I match between Pakistan and England, set to be held on May 22, may face weather disruptions due to the forecasted rain, as per the United Kingdom (UK) Met Office. Rain can often impact outdoor sporting events, especially cricket matches played in regions prone to precipitation.
Weather forecasts play a crucial role in determining match schedules and potential interruptions, as safety and playing conditions are paramount considerations for both players and officials. In cases of rain delays or interruptions, match officials typically follow protocols to assess ground conditions and make decisions regarding play continuation or rescheduling.
While rain may pose challenges for the match, cricket fans and stakeholders will likely keep an eye on updates from weather authorities and match officials for any changes to the schedule or playing conditions.The detailed weather forecast for Leeds on Wednesday indicates a high probability of heavy rainfall, with chances as high as 60 percent. The weather is expected to transition from cloudy to rainy around lunchtime and continue intermittently until midnight.
With humidity levels reaching as high as 92 percent and temperatures ranging from 13 to 16 degrees Celsius, the conditions could pose challenges for the players.
