Australia’s meteorological department said there are 70 per cent chances of rain in Melbourne, where the blockbuster game will be played.
A reporter, in the pre-match press conference, asked whether his team was singing “rain, rain go away”?
He responded, “Nai sir. Bacchon ko koi lori nahi suna rahe (We are not singing lullaby to children)”.

Babar Azam added that the weather was not in their control but he would want the fixture to be played both as a captain and player. He said everyone is waiting for the match and the side will give their everything for victory no matter what the situation is.
He named pacer Haris Rauf as his most improved.
The last time Pakistan and India squared in an ICC event was in last year’s T20 World Cup where Babar Azam’s side thrashed Rohit Sharma’s men to clinch a record-setting 10-wicket win.
