In a rematch of their previous Asia Cup 2023 encounter, India and Pakistan will play at the R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo. On Sunday, India will face Babar Azam & Co. in the first round of the continental tournament’s Super Fours. They are heading into the match after crushing Bangladesh in Lahore. A thrilling match would be anticipated, but only if the weather in Colombo permits it.
On Sunday morning, residents in Sri Lanka’s capital city took pictures and videos of the beautiful sky with a thin layer of clouds. But as the day goes on, the weather is probably going to grow worse. At the start of the play, 3 PM, Accuweather.com forecasts a thunderstorm, 60% probability of rain, and 98 percent cloud cover.
The rain will probably stop for a few hours before starting up again about 6 o’clock in the evening. With a heavier cloud cover, which is predicted to be about 100%, the temperature would drop by a number of degrees.
Nighttime is when the scenario is most likely to continue. With 100% cloud coverage and a likelihood of rain of more than 60%, thunderstorms are predicted.
What if the game is postponed?
The match will continue on Monday, which has been set aside as a backup day, if it is postponed, similar to the recent India vs. Pakistan match in Kandy. The decision was made by the Asia Cricket Council (ACC) on Friday in order to guarantee a full contest between India and Pakistan. The Bangladesh Cricket Board and Sri Lanka Cricket have both approved of the choice.
The Super11 Asia Cup 2023 Super 4 match between India and Pakistan is slated to take place on September 10, 2023 at the R. Premadasa International Cricket Stadium in Colombo, according to an official statement from the ACC. “A reserve day has been incorporated,” the statement said.
“The India vs. Pakistan game will resume on September 11, 2023, from the moment it was halted, if inclement weather prevents play. Ticket holders are urged to save their match tickets, which will still be valid and used on the reserve day, in such a situation.
