The Asia Cup 2023 tournament has entered its Super Four stage, and the match between India and Pakistan is scheduled to take place on September 10 in Colombo. In view of the increasing threat of rain, the Asian Cricket Council (ACC) has scheduled a reserve day for this match. Sri Lanka and Bangladesh Cricket Board have also shared their views on this matter through Twitter.

Both boards have clarified that the decision to include a reserve day for the India-Pakistan match in the Super Four stage was taken with the consent of all four participating teams and the ACC. The official Twitter account of Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) said, "A reserve day has been added for the India-Pakistan match in the Super 11 Asia Cup Super-4, which has effectively modified the conditions of playing the Asia Cup. "But to clarify the situation, the decision has been taken with the consent of all four participating teams and the ACC."

Play interrupted due to rain in Sri Lanka

Rain has disrupted almost all the matches played so far in the Asia Cup in Sri Lanka. Matches have been disrupted due to rain, causing delays. The match between India and Pakistan during the group stage was abandoned due to rain. In that match, while one inning was completed, the second inning could not start due to rain.

It is noteworthy that India had to face difficulties in its second match also, which was affected by rain. In the match against Nepal, India won under the Duckworth-Lewis method. Now, India is set to face Pakistan in the Super Four stage in Colombo on September 10, where the possibility of rain on the match day is being closely monitored.
