Xtra Time Web Desk: Rain is likely to play a spoilsport for Sunday’s Super 4 game of Asia Cup between India and Pakistan at the R Premadasa stadium. The weather forecast for the day is not at all promising with 70 percent chances of rain later in the day.
Fortunately, there is a reserve day in place, but fans and players, especially from the Indian team, are hoping for a result on the scheduled day, as they have another match against Sri Lanka on Tuesday, September 12. Pakistan already holds two points in the Super Four stage, and with the remainder of the tournament matches set to be held in Colombo, an improvement in the weather forecast is urgently needed to prevent the tournament from being marred by rain.
It has been bright and sunny in Colombo since morning but there is a forecast of rains later in the day. Saturday’s Sri Lanka-Bangladesh match managed to proceed without any interruptions due to rain, despite some ominous clouds. However, the weather forecast for the highly anticipated India-Pakistan match is far from promising. The match is scheduled to begin at 3 PM local time in Colombo, and the rain prediction is 70 percent.
The threat of inclement weather conditions looms over the Asia Cup 2023 Super Four matches at Colombo’s R Premadasa Stadium. While the Asian Cricket Council (ACC) has announced a reserve day for the India vs. Pakistan clash, there is still concern about a potential washout.
