The high voltage match between India and Pakistan is under the threat of rain looms over the match due to Balagolla strom is set to cross Pallekele International Cricket Ground in Kandy. So there is a good chance that the match at Pallekele International Cricket Ground may be completely washed out.

Monsoon interruption

According to weather predictions, there is a 90% chance that the thunderstorms and rain will spoil the highly anticipated match. All the tickets have been sold out and millions of viewers are waiting in anticipation to watch the clash between the Asian giants. India and Pakistan might play against each other not just once but possibly three more times if they reach the Super 4 stage and finals of the Asia Cup. These teams usually meet only during the Asia Cup and ICC events, so fans are eagerly waiting for the big match.

Three league games will be hosted at Pallekele until the 4th of September. Apart from India vs. Pakistan, this ground will also host Sri Lanka vs. Bangladesh on Thursday and India’s final league game against Nepal on September 4. Sri Lanka will host nine games, starting with India vs. Pakistan in the Asia Cup 2023, while Pakistan will host only four. Colombo’s R. Premadasa Stadium will be hosting mainly the Super Four round games. A delayed monsoon has put dark clouds over most of the Asia Cup games in the southern part of the subcontinent. Pakistan will be hosting only four games: three in Lahore and the opening game in Multan.

While the Asia Cup began in Pakistan without any rain delays, the same can’t be guaranteed for the intense India-Pakistan clash on September 2 as Sri Lanka is facing a delayed monsoon and heavy rains might occur in the country.
