The highly anticipated Pak vs India encounter in the Asia Cup 2023 is keenly anticipated by the cricketing world. On Wednesday, August 30, in Multan, the match between Pakistan and Nepal served as the first match of the sixteenth edition of the continental championship.
Probability of Rain at Pak vs India Asia Cup Match
One of the major games of the 2023 Asia Cup, Pak vs India at the Pallekele International Stadium in Kandy on Saturday, has a significant probability of rain.
The Asian Cricket Council (ACC) has been informed that heavy rain is forecast for the southern region of Sri Lanka over the next days; as a result, Dambulla has been proposed as an alternative location to Kandy.
Rain was expected in various provinces on Wednesday, according to Sri Lanka’s government weather forecasting office.
In the next days, it’s anticipated that the island’s southwest will continue to experience heavy rains.
The Central Province, which includes Kandy, will have rain in the upcoming days.
Weather Forecast
Saturday has a 100% probability of precipitation and a 90% chance of thunderstorms, according to AccuWeather.
Before Thursday’s (today) match between Sri Lanka and Bangladesh, reporters who were present at the stadium said that rolled-up tarpaulins had been placed close to the boundary ropes.
The outfield is especially soggy as a result of the Wednesday’s heavy rainfall, and the outlook for the rest of the week is also highly concerning.
AccuWeather Prediction
On Saturday, September 2nd, there is a risk of rain from 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. Sri Lankan time, according to the weather prediction. Additionally, even though the Pak vs India game begins at 15:30 p.m. Sri Lankan time, excessive rain may ruin the event.
In addition, there is a significant risk of rain between 5:00 and 7:00 p.m. From 9:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m., AccuWeather has also predicted another period of rain showers.
It wouldn’t be incorrect to state that there’s a potential the entire game will be canceled based on the forecast. Fans are hoping that the rain stays away and they can see India and Pakistan in action on Saturday.
