KANDY, Sri Lanka: Pakistan will play India in the Asia Cup Group-A match at Pallekele, Sri Lanka today (Sep 2) amid rain forecast.
The match is being seen as a battle between the India’s top three batters versus the Pakistan’s pace trio.
The upcoming clash may be hampered by rain, as heavy thunderstorms have been predicted for Saturday in Kandy.
It merits mention here that Pakistan and India only meet each other in Asia Cricket Council or International Cricket Council (ICC) events, and all eyes are on the Pallekele International Cricket Stadium as it gets ready to host the big clash today.
The last encounter between the two teams was in the T20 World Cup last year when a stunning knock from Virat Kohli, laced with that six, guided India home winners.
The weather.com predicts 84 percent rain today. AccuWeather also indicates 85 percent precipitation on Saturday, with a thick cloud cover throughout, but the chances of a thunderstorm are slim.
Last week, World Weather Online had forecast rain of 102.55 mm on Saturday, which would have made it the wettest day in Kandy in ten days. Even if the weather forces a delayed start, chances of a washout are slim.
