When the India players walk out of their team bus, with those big headphones on, for their ICC Champions Trophy 2017 game against Sri Lanka at The Oval in London, you can make an educated guess over which song will be blaring through on those headphones: Rain, rain go away.
Because for India to take complete control of Group B, they need to beat Sri Lanka, make it four points out of two matches, which, barring a major disaster in their final game, will pretty much put them in the semifinals.
Thanks to Pakistan's upset win over South Africa on Wednesday, this group has opened up, leaving India in a precarious position, if they fail to beat Sri Lanka or rain ruins the party.
So far in this Champions Trophy 2017, two games have been abandoned, with both of those happening to be from Group A. Group B has survived the wet weather so far, but rain is forecast in London on Thursday.
Although it isn't as bleak as most people thought it would be a few days ago, some showers are predicted throughout the day.
While it should be nice and sunny at the start of the match, rain will come down as the game progresses. There is some light rain predicted through the day as well as some strong showers for a period during the afternoon.
The forecast isn't so bad that an entire game could be abandoned, but then these weather predictions are so often not right.
At the end of the day, it could end up being nice and sunny throughout the entire game, or there could be rain, rain and more rain.
Hopefully, the rain stays away long enough for us to get a full game, because, from India's point of view, this is a really important match for them.
If they end up sharing points with Sri Lanka due to the wet weather, it will put them in a must-win situation against South Africa, and that isn't a position they will want to find themselves in.
India are a strong enough team to be able to beat any opposition put in front of them, but they will feel a whole lot better if they are able to get a full game in and put in a performance worthy of beating Sri Lanka.
If Sri Lanka overpower India with bat and ball, fair enough. But what India will not want is to lose a point due to bad weather.
