Rain could play spoilsport in the eagerly awaited World Cup semi-final between India and Pakistan at Punjab Cricket Association stadium here today.
The weatherman has predicted light rain in the evening. "Partly cloudy sky will prevail over in the Mohali region today. Thunderstorms and dust storms along with light rain, by the evening, could also prevail in various parts of this region. Similar conditions are prevailing in this region for the last 24-hours," a Met official here told IANS yesterday.
"However, it will be comparatively warm (today). The maximum temperature is expected to hover around 30 to 33 degrees Celsius whereas the minimum temperature will be around 17 to 18 degrees Celsius," he added.
All the tickets have been sold out. Apart from Indian fans, around 200 Pakistani cricket lovers are also expected to watch the match.
"We do not want rain to spoil the game. We want the full action of 100 overs and nothing less than that. We would pray to God to postpone the rain," Parul Singhal, a young cricket enthusiast who has come from Delhi to see this match, said.
