RAIN THREAT LOOMS OVER INDIA-PAKISTAN ASIA CUP CLASH IN COLOMBO

Arch-rivals India and Pakistan are gearing up for a much-anticipated showdown in the ongoing Asia Cup 2023. The clash, originally scheduled for September 2 at the Pallekele International Cricket Stadium in Pallekele, ended in disappointment as it got washed out due to relentless rain.

Now, the stage is set for a rematch in the Super Fours, scheduled for Sunday, September 10, at the R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo. However, weather forecasts for the capital city of Sri Lanka aren't painting an optimistic picture for cricket enthusiasts.

According to the latest weather reports, there is a staggering 90% chance of rain during both daytime and night time on September 10 in Colombo. Additionally, a warning of thunderstorms has been issued, raising concerns about the match's fate.

Former Zimbabwean cricketer Christopher Mpofu shed light on rumours regarding a venue change for the Super Fours during an exclusive interview on the 1XBAT cricket show. He disclosed that discussions about relocating the matches to Hambantota had taken place due to the unpredictable weather in Colombo. However, the Asian Cricket Council (ACC) ultimately decided to keep the Super Fours and final matches in Colombo.
