In what could come as a major disappointment for fans across the globe, awaiting the highly anticipated clash between India and Pakistan at the Eden Gardens, the city of Kolkata witnessed rains and drizzle on Saturday morning.

The much-awaited encounter has already seen its fair share of drama over venue and security concerns.

Now with the heavens opening up, the anxiety and anticipation had climbed another level.

However, the sun is supposed to shine through later in the day according to weather service provider skymet.

In the next few hours, light to moderate rain and thundershowers over scattered parts are likely over Hooghly, Howrah and Kolkata.

The Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB) as well as cricket fans will be hoping for an uninterrupted match, which is scheduled to begin at 7: 30 p.m on Saturday.
