India vs Pakistan match in the Super Four stage of the Asia Cup 2023 was called off yesterday and moved to the reserve day as rainfall played spoilsport in Colombo.
The match is likely to be played today from the point at which it was suspended. It is scheduled to begin at 3 pm IST. However, there is apprehension that the rainfall may wash out the India vs Pakistan match in the Asia Cup 2023.
What if rain plays spoilsport today?
Despite the Asian Cricket Council (ACC) decision to allocate a reserved day for the clash in the Super Four stage, there are chances that the rainfall in Colombo may not allow the match to be played.
For the match to be completed, at least 20 overs need to be played in both innings. As of now, India has played 24.1 overs, and Pakistan is yet to bat.
According to weather.com at 9 am IST, there is a high chance of rainfall in Colombo today. It is forecasted that the chance of rainfall today is almost certain, with a high probability of rain continuing into the night.
If rainfall plays spoilsport today, then the India vs Pakistan match will be canceled, and both teams will be given one point each.
