The much-awaited clash between India and Pakistan in the Asia Cup 2023 is scheduled for September 2 at the Pallekele International Cricket Stadium in Kandy. However, there is a big chance that rain will not only interrupt the game, but it could also lead to a washout.
This will be the first meeting between India and Pakistan since their encounter in last year’s T20 World Cup at the MCG, where Virat Kohli played arguably the greatest T20I knock. This is also the first ODI match between the two Asian neighbors in four years, their last ODI game was in the 2019 World Cup in Manchester, which India won courtesy of Rohit Sharma’s century.
Pakistan have been in good form recently. Babar Azam’s team defeated Afghanistan 3-0 and recorded a massive victory over Nepal to kick-start their Asia Cup campaign. India will certainly pose a much bigger challenge to the Men In Green.
A victory or a washout will seal Pakistan’s place in the Super 4, while India would want to start their Asia Cup tournament with a win over their fiercest rivals.
