IND vs PAK: Has Melbourne weather improved ahead of high-octane India-Pakistan T20 World Cup clash?

The much anticipated clash of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2022 - India vs Pakistan - is all set to take place at the iconic Melbourne Cricket Stadium (MCG) on Sunday, October 23.

The Asian giants had met twice in the Asia Cup, winning one match each. However, while Pakistan reached the final of that competition, India were knocked out after reaching the Top 4 stage.

With the excitement reaching the roof and fans eager to see the arch-rivals locking horns with each other, the only hinderance that the game could face is rain.

While it was told that the city could see persistant showers, it has been the opposite sinc eht eday began as the sun is out in Melbourne and the chances of having a full contest seem brighter.

However, inconsistent showers and a thunderstorm are expected through the course of the day. One cannot say much about the weather as Melbourne is notoriously famous for it's changing weather. 

Talking about the clash, since being knocked out of the Asia Cup, Rohit Sharma and his men have put out some brilliant performances in the shortest format of the game. 

They trounced Australia and South Africa at home to gather some much-needed momentum. They even defeat the World Cup host nation in the warm-up match.

Talking about Pakistan, they also bagged some success after losing the Asia Cup final. The Babar Azam-led side played an excruciating seven-match T20I series at home against England, which they lost 3-4. However, in the Tri-series in New Zealand, the Men in Green reigned supreme and won the contest. The return of Shaheen Shah Afridi has only boosted their morale.
