India and Pakistan will begin their T20 World Cup 2022 campaign on October 23, Sunday, at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. Every cricket fan on the planet has been waiting for the arch-rivals to clash, but there has been no confirmation of the game taking place due to the rain forecast in Melbourne.

After three days of nonstop rain, the rains finally stopped a day before the game, but heavy rain is still expected on match day. If the weather conditions favour the two teams, the competition will begin. The previous edition of the T20 World Cup saw India lose to Pakistan, but the Men in Blue are currently in fantastic form.

Pitch Conditions

The Melbourne pitch is known for being friendly to both the bat and the ball. The bowlers will get a lot of bounce in the first phase, but the spinners won’t get much bite. India has played here four times, twice winning and once losing. Pakistan has only played once in Melbourne, and they were defeated. If the captain wins the toss, he will choose to bowl first.
