Rain forecast for the IND vs PAK Super Fours match in the 2023 Asia Cup

India’s Super Four match against Pakistan on September 10 was hit by rain, and things do not look very good for the reserve day either. Here is the latest weather update of the IND vs PAK ODI and the latest rain forecast.

Both of India’s group-stage matches in the ongoing Asia Cup were affected by rain. Rain was predicted for their Super Four game as well, but the organisers stuck to the R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo, the originally chosen venue.

The match began on time, and India got off to a rollicking start after Babar Azam opted to field. Rohit Sharma (56 in 49 balls, six fours, four sixes) and Shubman Gill (58 in 52 balls, 10 fours) played their shots even as Naseem Shah bowled an outstanding opening spell.

Rohit became the first cricketer to hit Shaheen Shah Afridi for six in the first over of an ODI, but Naseem tested him with an excellent spell. Gill hit six fours in 12 balls off Shaheen but he, too, rode on his luck when no one really attempted for a catch off his edge.

The Indian openers added 121 in 100 balls before Rohit hit Shadab Khan (1-45) to long-off, while Shaheen (1-37) had his revenge, having Gill caught at cover off a slower ball.

Virat Kohli (8 in 16 balls) and KL Rahul (17 in 28) were at the crease when rain washed out the day’s play, with India on 147-2 in 24.1 overs. The match will resume from that point.

The AccuWeather prediction reads “considerable cloudiness with thunderstorms” for the day (29.1 mm rainfall) and “occasional evening rain and a thunderstorm, otherwise, considerable cloudiness” for the night (7.4 mm rainfall).

BBC Weather’s rain predictor varies between 39 percent and 90 percent for the duration of the match.

Weather.com begins at 24 percent rain at the time of the toss, but that increases to 85 percent as the day goes on.
