Once again, but this time in the Super 4 round of the Asia Cup, India and Pakistan will square off against one another. The weather does not look good just like their previous clash last week but there is a positive for cricket fans following this game.
The Asia Cup Super Four game between India and Pakistan on September 10 at the R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo is all set to include a reserve day as well. Apart from the main final on September 17, this happens to be the only game with a reserve day. PCB notified the adjustment of the playing conditions and advised fans to keep their tickets in case of a reserve day play.
For both matches that have a reserve day available, every effort will be taken to finish the contest on the scheduled day, even if that necessitates cutting the game short. The length of the competition will stay the same as it was on the final ball of day one if the reserve day is called.
