However, heavy rain forced the match onto the designated reserve day with hopes of a full match after just 24.1 overs had been played on the original day.
However, because there is still a chance that the Pakistan vs. India Super 4s match would not be completed, the Men in Blue will play co-hosts Sri Lanka in their second Super 4s game on Tuesday, September 12. The weather for this Asia Cup Super Fours game is expected to be cloudy with scattered showers and thunderstorms throughout the day, according to AccuWeather.com.
Although there is an 84% chance of precipitation and a 95% chance of clouds staying throughout the day, the probability of rain may decrease to 55%. When it comes to India’s campaign at the 2023 Asia Cup, rain in Kandy forced the cancellation of their first match, which they were scheduled to play against Pakistan. Rain ruined their Group stage match against Nepal, and then their Super 4s match against Pakistan was postponed once more to the Reserve Day. The weather, however, does not appear to be in their favour.
R Premadasa Stadium pitch report
R. Premadasa Stadium’s pitch has historically favoured spinners, but it also provides some assistance to batters due to its quick outfield and somewhat condensed boundary lines. Despite the fact that chasing is challenging on this pitch, there is a chance that the toss winner will elect to bowl first because the DLS factor will be crucial if rain disrupts the game.
