New Delhi: Truth can be harsh, and for cricket enthusiasts, the India vs Pakistan Asia Cup 2023 match faces the possibility of being canceled due to heavy rain in Pallekele. The weather forecast for Saturday suggested a high likelihood of rain, making it improbable for the match to proceed unless an unexpected turn of events occurs.

Sadly, expecting sunny conditions in Sri Lanka during August-September is overly optimistic due to the prevailing monsoon season. This is why, cricket matched are rare during this period.

However, the Asia Cup was slotted for this time due to an impromptu decision prompted by India’s travel limitations to Pakistan. The situation in Pallekele remains uncertain. Persistent rain has left the field wet and uneven, posing difficulties for the ground staff in preparing it for matches.

While there is some optimism with sunshine in the morning, the potential for rain still threatens upcoming games, including the highly anticipated India vs Pakistan clash.

Should the India vs Pakistan match be canceled, attempts will be made to hold a shortened 20-over game. If that proves unfeasible, both teams will be awarded points. With a prior victory over Nepal, Pakistan would secure a spot in the Super 4 stage. For India, progressing to the next round would require a victory against Nepal.
