On Sunday, the biggest match of the World Cup, Pakistan vs India, is scheduled to be played at Old Trafford in Manchester. But, rain has threatened to spoil the mood of billions of fans who’re waiting for the action.

According to UK’s met office, there are 50% chances of precipitation at 12pm on Sunday which will be increased to 70% by 1:00pm.

The forecast further states that chances of rain between 2pm to 5pm are 60% while at 6:00pm UK time, it increases to 80%.
