IND vs PAK Weather Update: R Premadasa Stadium dazzles under bright sun and clear skies; Match set to happen

IND vs PAK Colombo Weather LIVE Update: India and Pakistan will clash for the second time in the much-awaited Super Four match of Asia Cup 2023. R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo, Sri Lanka, will host the India vs Pakistan match on Sunday, September 10.

Rain played spoilsport in their first encounter of Asia Cup 2023, which ended with no result. Although India put up a remarkable fightback against the Pakistani bowlers, the second innings never happened due to the rain. To ensure this does not happen again, the Asia Cricket Council (ACA) has announced Monday, September 11, as a reserve day for the game. However, it met with some backlash as the organisers have set a reserve day for this fixture alone.

In the first match, India won the toss and chose to bat first. Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill were off to a steady start until the first rain break turned the tables. After the restart, Shaheen Afridi dismissed Rohit Sharma off the second ball. India crumbled to 66/4 in 14.1 overs as Pakistan's pacers dominated the game. Later, Hardik Pandya and Ishan Kishan put up a 138-run stand for the sixth wicket off141 balls, flattering Pakistan's bowlers. However, Pakistan could not bat as rain washed away the game in Kandy, Sri Lanka.
