Rawalpindi weather forecast for February 27

Well, things don’t look great according to Accuweather. There is an 88 percentage chance of rain on Thursday, with rain expected to start at 1 pm IST. The toss is at 2 pm IST, but we can expect it to be a delayed one.

Rain is expected to continue from 1 to 4 pm IST and things are expected to remain cloudy throughout the day. While the chances of rain does reduce between 5 to 9 pm, there is rain expected once again after that. This means that we could see a stop-start game or one that is reduced.
