Manchester: Who will win — India or Pakistan? That is not the only question on everyone's mind here. It is also about whether the high-profile match will take place or not. In fact, so much is riding commercially and emotionally, that this match literally has the potential of defining this World Cup as a huge hit or flop.

Indeed, the fickle English weather has kept everyone on tenterhooks. The forecast for the match shows 15 to 20 per cent chances of rain at the start of the match. The percentage of rain remains the same for the duration of the match. In such a scenario, there are chances of the match being interrupted by spells of rain. What could be a major concern for the Old Trafford ground authorities is the rain that began from Saturday afternoon could also continue to midnight. With no facility of covering the entire ground here, the wet outfield is posing a major headache for the groundsmen.
