After there were a few reports of no reserve day for the India vs Pakistan Asia Cup Super 4 match, the Asian Cricket Council (ACC) has now confirmed that there will be a reserve day. According to the MET department, rain is predicted for the next 10 days in Colombo. IND vs PAK match is on Sunday (September 10). But like it happened during the Asia Cup group stage match between IND vs PAK, the chance of rain is huge in the Super 4 clash.
However, with a reserve day, the two teams can continue playing from the way they left off the previous day. According to Samaa TV, there will also be a reserve day for the finals of the Asia Cup 2023. PCB have also updated that fans should keep copies of tickets for the reserve day also.

The group stage match between India and Pakistan was called off due to rain, with both teams sharing one point each. India were bundled out at 266 in 48.5 overs, with Hardik Pandya’s 87 and Ishan Kishan’s 82 helping the team post a decent target.
However, rain played spoilsport, and the match was called off without Pakistan facing a single ball.
With rains also forecast in Colombo for the next week, the PCB, the official hosts of the tournament, were on board with plans to move the Colombo matches to Hambantota, but eventually, the Asian Cricket Council (ACC) sent a mail to the stakeholders stating that the matches would be played in Colombo as originally scheduled, according to ESPNcricinfo.
A rain threat hangs over the India vs Pakistan match on Sunday, too, with up to a 90 percent chance of precipitation. If the weather clears up, India’s bowling spearhead Jasprit Bumrah could return to action after having missed the Nepal fixture for the birth of his child.
