There is some good news for cricket fans as the recent IND vs PAK weather update has only a 16% chance of rain on the cards during the mega clash as India lock horns with arch-rivals Pakistan in their ICC T20 World Cup 2022 opener at the iconic Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) on Sunday, October 23.

Rohit Sharma and Co. will look to seek revenge against the Men in Green after their 10-wicket defeat in the last T20 World Cup meeting between the two sides in the UAE in 2021. With Shami's inclusion, India's bowling unit also looks rejuvenated as they will look to come all guns blazing against Pakistan at the MCG.

Babar Azam and Co., meanwhile, have landed in Australia after a tri-series win in New Zealand. However, they lost their first warm-up game against England by six wickets.
