In a highly-anticipated Asia Cup 2023 Super 4 clash in Colombo, Pakistan won the toss and elected to bowl against arch-rivals India. This face-off resumed after their previous game in Pallekele was washed out by rain.
India had posted 266 in 48.5 overs in that match, and Pakistan couldn't chase due to the weather. Pakistan, currently topping the points table, seeks to continue their strong performance after defeating Bangladesh by seven wickets in their first Super Four match.
With the threat of rain looming (up to 90% chance), fans remain anxious about game disruptions. However, Sunday morning in Colombo was bright and sunny. In case of rain interruptions, the match has a reserve day on Monday.
In the high-stakes Super 4 stage, where one loss can put teams in a "must-win" situation, both India and Pakistan are eager to secure the crucial two points. Moreover, this fixture could potentially be their last encounter in the 2023 Asia Cup, as Sri Lanka stands as a strong contender to reach the finals, where historically, India and Pakistan have never met.
