A big weather update ahead of the India-Pakistan match
New Delhi. The 5th match of Asia Cup 2023 between India and Pakistan (IND vs PAK) was washed out due to rain. Team India’s batsmen did not get a chance to bat against Pakistan and it was canceled due to continuous rain. Team India also had to face rain in the match against Nepal. The game was stopped three times due to rain. However, Team India later got a revised target and India easily achieved it. Now in Colombo (Colombo Weather Updates) India and Pakistan teams will face each other in Super Four on Sunday.
The match is scheduled to be played on September 10 in Colombo. Cricket lovers are also worried about this match whether they will get to watch the entire match or not. Amidst all this, good news has come from Sri Lanka on Friday. This news has been shared by Pakistan Cricket Board and Asian Cricket Council on their respective official Twitter handles of social media.
Actually, the match between India and Pakistan will be played at the R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo. Two days before this match, the weather has turned. The sky was clear on Friday. In the photo shared by PCB and ACC, the sky is completely clear and sunny. In such a scenario, one has to hope that the skies will be clear on the day of the India vs Pakistan match. All the Super 4 matches are scheduled to be played in Colombo but it has been raining heavily for the past few days.
The sky is clear, the sun is out, and yes you are. Watching the latest scenes from Premadasa Stadium, Colombo. Hopefully the rain will stay away for another week and we will get to see some cricket action #AsiaCup #PAKvIND pic.twitter.com/4F5yx3x935
