The much-anticipated Asia Cup 2023 encounter between India and Pakistan is scheduled for this Saturday (September 2) in Kandy, Sri Lanka. However, an unanticipated Balagolla storm is threatening to disrupt the game.
As the much-anticipated match approaches, the question on everyone’s mind is whether the weather will play spoilsport.
With tickets selling out in minutes and millions of enthusiastic spectators anticipating the India-Pakistan match, a rain-delayed game is the last thing anyone wants.
The enthralling encounter could be ruined by bad weather, according to the India versus Pakistan Asia Cup match weather report.
Because of its rarity, the match’s intensity is amplified. India and Pakistan rarely play one other these days, as they mostly meet at Asia Cup and ICC competitions. This rarity heightens the excitement as fans, experts, and critics prepare for the match.
The rivalry between India and Pakistan may go beyond this match. If both teams go to the Super 4 stage and the Asia Cup finals, they might face each other three times. Fans all throughout the world are excited about the prospect of several contests.
Weather to ruin Asia Cup game between India and Pakistan
The weather forecast, on the other hand, sends a mixed message. According to the weather forecast, there is a 70% probability of rain throughout the Kandy encounter, with precipitation expected at about 2:30 PM, only half an hour before the scheduled start. By 5:30 p.m., rain chances are forecast to drop to 60%.
To add to the uncertainty, the Met Department of Sri Lanka predicts rain in numerous locations of the country, including Kandy, in the coming days. Kandy, which is located in the Central Province, is expecting rain on both Friday and Saturday.
Despite these projections, the cricketing community and fans around the world remain hopeful that they will be able to witness the entire match.
Meanwhile, Pakistan has already won their first game of the tournament, thrashing Nepal by 238 runs, demonstrating their team’s prowess.
The Indian team will be without its star batter, KL Rahul, who is undergoing rehabilitation at the NCA in Bangalore, while Shreyas Iyer is poised to return to the pitch after a lengthy absence due to injury.
