Wild weather could potentially wreak havoc on the T20 World Cup, with the Bureau of Meteorology predicting a 'higher chance' of games being washed out due to rain.
Organisers will be hoping the clouds stay away, particularly for the sold out clash at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) today (Sunday) between India and Pakistan, in which more than 100,000 spectators are expected to attend.
According to the Daily Telegraph, the International Cricket Council (ICC) will suffer a loss of $7 million if the match gets canceled due to weather conditions. The spectators will be fully refunded if the match is less than 10 overs.
Both the Pakistani and Indian squads are training tirelessly to face each other in the mega event. However, the weather in Melbourne has left everyone asking whether the match will take place or not.
Another reason why the spectators will be refunded is that there isn't any reserve day scheduled for the group stage matches.
The tickets for the Pakistan-India clash were sold in just half an hour.
