Rain is expected to disrupt today's encounter between India and Pakistan...
Digital Desk: On Sunday (September 10), India will meet Pakistan in their first match of the ongoing Asia Cup 2023 Super Fours tournament. The game will be held in Colombo's R. Premadasa Stadium.
It is to be mentioned that, the weather forecast for Colombo on Sunday predicts a 49-69% likelihood of rain during the match.
India will face Pakistan for the second time in the ongoing six-team continental event. Last week, India vs. Pakistan group stage match on September 2 was called off owing to rain.
Rain is expected to disrupt today's IND vs. PAK Super 4s match in Colombo, just as it did in the previous match. If the match is called off due to rain today, there will be a reserve day, and the IND versus PAK Super Fours match will resume on Monday (September 11) from where it left off.
Colombo weather updates provided by Accuweather reports, state that the latest weather report for the weather in Sri Lanka's capital Colombo on Sunday, there is a 49% probability of rain at 2 PM IST and a 66% chance of rain at roughly 3 PM IST, which is the scheduled start time for the India vs Pakistan Super Fours game.
The rain forecast for the India vs. Pakistan match on Sunday ranges from 49 to 69%. Rain is expected to disrupt today's encounter between India and Pakistan, as it did in their earlier group-stage match.
Rain is expected to disrupt even the Reserve Day (September 11, Monday) of India vs. Pakistan Asia Cup 2023 Super Fours in Colombo. Accuweather has forecast a 99 per cent chance of rain on September 11. Rain is expected to fall for six hours on that day.
India is looking for a major win over Pakistan, while Babar Azam'ssquad in Green, who upset Bangladesh in their first Super Fours match in Lahore on Wednesday (September 6), want to overcome India and become the first side in the 2023 Asia Cup to book a spot in the finals.
The match will be staged at the same location as hosts Sri Lanka faced Bangladesh on Saturday (September 9).
In the Group A match, India's momentum was broken by the rain break, and they lost as many as three top-order batters in quick succession to Pakistan's pace trio of Shaheen Shah Afridi, Naseem Shah, and Haris Rauf, which has dismissed 23 batters in three matches played so far.
Pakistan, which defeated Bangladesh in their first Super Fours match on September 6 in Lahore, would prefer to beat India and practically confirm a spot in the Asia Cup 2023 finals.
On top of that, Rohit Sharma and his side would like to score a significant win over Pakistan, which glided to No. 2 in the ODI rankings on Saturday following Australia's 123-run win over South Africa in the second ODI of the present five-match series.
