Will Rain Affect England Vs Pakistan 3rd T20I In Cardiff? Latest Weather Updates

In the build-up to the T20 World Cup 2024, England aims to secure an unassailable lead in the four-match series against Pakistan during the third T20I at Sophia Gardens in Cardiff, Wales, on Tuesday, May 28.

The series opener between Jos Buttler's England and Babar Azam's Pakistan at Headingley ended in disappointment as persistent rain in Leeds led to the game being abandoned without a ball being bowled.

However, the second T20I at Edgbaston Cricket Stadium in Birmingham saw no interruptions. England emerged victorious by 23 runs, defending a total of 183 and bowling out Pakistan for 160.

According to AccuWeather, there is a significant chance of rain for most of the day on May 28 in Cardiff, especially post-noon. The maximum temperature is expected to be 16°C at the start of the match at 6:30 PM local time.

Rain Prediction for Cardiff on May 28: AccuWeather predicts a 70 percent chance of precipitation around Sophia Gardens. The sky is expected to remain cloudy, making uninterrupted play unlikely.

BBC forecasts a 20 to 90 percent chance of showers throughout the day, suggesting that an interruption or washout may occur during the match at Sophia Gardens.

The MET office offers a forecast of a 30 to 50 percent chance of rain during playing hours on May 28. This indicates that another washout in this series is possible.

There is also a considerable chance that the final game of the series at the Oval in London on Thursday, May 30, may be affected by rain. If this happens, Pakistan will enter the T20 World Cup without any substantial warm-up matches.
