India vs Pakistan: Asia Cup 2023 Super 4 Match

The India vs Pakistan cricket match is one of the most iconic sporting rivalries in the world. The two teams have met 203 times in all formats of the game, with Pakistan winning 88 matches compared to India's 72 victories. In Test matches and ODIs, Pakistan has won more matches than India, although India has won eight of the twelve T20 International between the two sides.

Previous Match: IND vs PAK

The game against Pakistan was an ideal opportunity for the Indian cricket team. It provided them with much-needed practice against high-quality pace bowling. While there were a few challenges that arose, the team had a near-perfect performance against Nepal, boosting their confidence as they head into the crucial IND vs PAK clash.

Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill faced difficulties in the first encounter against Pakistan's pacers. However, they redeemed themselves against Nepal, playing beautifully to score vital half-centuries and securing a commanding 10-wicket victory. They are eager to make amends in the upcoming match against Pakistan.

Virat Kohli faced an early exit in the previous IND vs PAK game due to a false shot. He is determined to rectify his mistakes and put on a better performance in the next game. Returning player Shreyas Iyer showed promise and played some elegant shots, although he eventually gave a straightforward catch. He too aims to contribute significantly before the Super 4 stage.

Ishan Kishan and Hardik Pandya are expected to retain their positions in the playing 11. They played pivotal roles in rescuing India from challenging situations, both scoring vital 80s that propelled India to a competitive total. Kishan's performance might pose a selection challenge for KL Rahul. Pandya, once again, showcased his importance with another crucial innings.

Ravindra Jadeja faced challenges with the bat in the previous match, and the team is eager to see how he performs with the ball in the upcoming game. Kuldeep Yadav is likely to retain his place, while Mohammad Shami may replace Shardul Thakur in the team. Thakur was included for his batting depth but failed to make an impact with the bat. Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj are set to be the two pacers in the IND vs PAK game.

The next India vs Pakistan match is scheduled to be played on September 10, 2023, at the R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo, Sri Lanka. The match is part of the Super Four stage of the Asia Cup 2023.

IND vs PAK Weather Update in Colombo

Unfortunately, the much-anticipated IND vs PAK clash scheduled for September 10 is facing the looming threat of being washed out once again. This news is disheartening for cricket enthusiasts in both India and Pakistan as the match marks a pivotal moment in the Asia Cup 2023 Super 4s, set to take place at Colombo's R Premadasa Stadium.

The weather forecast for Colombo does not bode well for an uninterrupted game of cricket on September 10. It appears that the rain is poised to disrupt the showdown between India and Pakistan for the second time in the tournament.

Notably, the initial encounter between India and Pakistan in Pallekele also fell victim to rain. On September 2, during the IND vs PAK game, only one innings was possible before the officials were compelled to call off the match, with each team earning a single point.

Regrettably, it seems that the inclement weather has followed the Indian cricket team from Pallekele to Colombo, where the Asia Cup 2023 Super 4s and the tournament final are scheduled to be held.

In an effort to salvage crucial matches like India vs Pakistan from further rain-related cancellations, the Sri Lankan Cricket Board (SLC) has taken swift action. They have communicated with the Asian Cricket Council (ACC), urging a reconsideration of hosting the remaining games of the Asia Cup 2023 in Colombo. The SLC has also proposed shifting the matches to Hambantota, where the weather conditions appear more favorable.

IND vs PAK Weather Details

Here is the latest weather update for the IND vs PAK game on September 10 in Colombo:

• Throughout the day, there is a 75% chance of rain.
• In the afternoon, when the captains walk out for the toss, the chances of rain increase to 99%, with the temperature hovering around 28 degrees.
• In the evening, the rain chances drop to 80%, with a 100% cloud cover and humidity surging up to 89%. These conditions are far from ideal for both fans and teams. The IND vs PAK fixture is likely to experience multiple interruptions, reminiscent of their first encounter in Pallekele a week ago.

Stay tuned for further updates on the status of the match and any potential changes in venue or schedule due to the weather conditions.
