At the Pallekele International Cricket Stadium in Sri Lanka, archrivals Pakistan and India are scheduled to square off in a high-stakes Asia Cup 2023 match.
Cricket fans were dismayed to learn that there was a 70% chance of rain, as this raised concerns that the highly anticipated game might be completely rained out.
Additionally, rain was predicted for Friday night and early Saturday morning, which could delay the start of the clash between the two neighbours.
The likelihood of rain in the city has thankfully significantly decreased, allowing for the possibility of some cricket action, which is good news for the fans.
Fans are optimistic despite the fact that the current conditions make a full game unlikely, as Sri Lanka’s grounds staff is known for handling difficult situations.
The starting lineup for Pakistan’s match against their bitter rivals is listed below.
Only in ACC or ICC competitions do India and Pakistan meet, and the Pallekele International Cricket Stadium is preparing to host this important match.
The two teams’ most recent meeting occurred in the T20 World Cup 2022, where the Rohit Sharma-led team prevailed in a nail-biting contest at the MCG.
India won the opening match of the 2022 Asia Cup, and Pakistan won the Super Fours match. Pakistan reached the championship game against Sri Lanka but came up short.
