India and Pakistan to resume rivalry in rain-threatened Super Four match
The eagerly anticipated India-Pakistan clash in the Asia Cup Super Four will be played in Colombo on September 10, 2023, with rain a major threat. The match will start at 3:00 PM IST.
The match was originally scheduled to be played in Pallekele but has been moved to Colombo due to the wet weather. But now the forecast for Colombo today is also not good, with a 90% chance of rain.
This match has a reserve day, so if the match is rained out, it will be played tomorrow.
