Rain is likely to cause the Pakistan vs. India Asia Cup 2023 game to be postponed from its scheduled September 2 start time at Pallekele International Cricket Stadium in Sri Lanka.

According to the BBC weather forecast, rain is anticipated in Kandy, Sri Lanka, for the entire week, with a 70% probability of showers during the match, which begins at around 3 p.m. local time.

The highly anticipated game may be delayed as a result of the amazing 102.55mm of rain that World Weather Online predicts will fall on Saturday. The projection also includes Friday.

Since there will be constant showers from 7 a.m. local time till midnight, the game may conclude in a tie.

During the game, winds are also anticipated, which may have an impact on the playing field and ambiance.

The game's temperature will range between 20 and 24 degrees Celsius.

India won the most recent 50-over encounter between the two teams, which took place during the 2019 International Cricket Council (ICC) Cricket World Cup.

Their most recent encounter, though, took place at the legendary Melbourne Cricket Ground in Australia during the ICC T20 Cricket World Cup 2022, when India triumphed courtesy to one of the best innings ever played by Virat Kohli.

If both teams advance past the group stages, even if the rain stops the game, they will play each other once more in the Super Four round.

Pakistan and India are in Group A with Nepal for the Asia Cup. While Afghanistan is in Group B with Bangladesh and Sri Lanka.
