Rain threatlooms large over the Sri Lanka vs England match at the Pallekele International Cricket Stadium. This is the first game for both teams in the Super 8s, but the teams might not be able to get a result if the forecast comes true. According to AccuWeather, there is nearly a 60 percent chance of rain on Sunday, which is not great news. Looking at the hourly weather report, the rain could come as soon as 1:00 PM, which is two hours before the start of play. There is a 49 percent chance of rain at 1:00 PM, 67 percent at 2:00 PM, and 74 percent at 3:00 PM. Unfortunately, the forecast is for rain for the entire evening, which, if comes true, could wash out the play.
If the match is washed out, this would be the second washout of the Super 8s from this group. Earlier, thePakistan and New Zealandmatch at the R Premadasa Stadium was also washed out due to rain. The only positive from a washout will be that all four teams will stand even at one point in this group, and the negative effects of rained out games won't impact any team. The washout between Pakistan and New Zealand was a setback to both teams' chances of the semifinals, but if Sri Lanka vs England is also washed out, no team will be at an advantage or disadvantage.
