Heavy rainfall, thunderstorm in Mohali ahead of semi-final


KARACHI:  Heavy rainfall, thunderstorms and lightening were witnessed as the venue of Pakistan’s World Cup semi-final against India late Tuesday.

Chandigarh, the capital of Indian states of Punjab and Haryana, and Mohali, where the two teams will meet in the second semi-final of the ICC World Cup, were drenched hours ahead of the clash.

While the rainfall continued for hours, weather forecast for Wednesday remains clear and sunny and the match is likely to go ahead as per schedule.

In the event the match is abandoned due to rain, Pakistan will qualify for the final on the basis of better position at the end of the group matches. Pakistan topped Group A while India was second in Group B.
The match is schedule to begin at 2.30pm local time (02.00pm PST).
