Once again, India and Pakistan are scheduled to face off in the Asia Cup 2023 during their Super 4 clash at the R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo on Sunday. Their last encounter in the group stage on September 2 in Kandy ended without a result due to rain.

To prevent a complete washout, the Asian Cricket Council (ACC) has introduced a reserve day for match, which is scheduled for Monday, September 3, at the same venue if Sunday’s play is not possible. Check out all the rules regarding the reserve day for India vs Pakistan clash.
