September 9th 2023.
India and Pakistan, the arch-rivals, are all set to face off in the Super Four round of Asia Cup 2023 at the R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo. This will be the second time they meet in the tournament after their first match was washed out due to rain in Kandy's Pallekele International Stadium.
Unfortunately, weather is forecasted to play a role in the Sunday's match as well with showers predicted in Sri Lanka's capital city. This game will have a reserve day on Monday, however, the forecast for that day is also the same, so the chances of a full game look slim.
Despite the weather, both India and Pakistan will look to get the better of each other and prove their dominance in the tournament. While Pakistan have already won two points from their match against Bangladesh, India will look to make up for the lost points and gain an upper hand in the tournament.
Bangladesh Cricket Board and Sri Lanka Cricket Board have backed ACC's decision to keep a reserve day for the India-Pakistan Super 4 game, understanding the importance of the marquee clash.
The match will be broadcast on Star Sports network on television and the live streaming will be available on the Hotstar app for free. The match will kick off on Sunday at the R Premadasa stadium in Colombo and will have a reserve day on Monday.
Shubman Gill, India's batsman, shared his views on the game and said, "Not facing Pakistani bowlers enough makes a difference at big events". This statement reflects the importance of the match and the enthusiasm among players from both the sides.
It is expected to be an enthralling match with both teams looking to outclass each other. With rain predicted in the area, the match could be shortened but India and Pakistan will still look to give their best and make this an exciting game.
