The ongoing Super 4 matches of the Asia Cup 2023 in Colombo are uncertain due to bad weather. Several matches were abandoned because of the adverse weather, causing the PCB to raise its discontent with the ACC over the choice of venue.
However, the rains could indeed be a blessing to the Pakistan team, which will automatically advance to the finals with four points if the remaining Super 4 games get washed out.
Admittedly, Pakistan has been in a rich vein of form and doesn’t need a wet day to secure a place in the finals. In their first Super 4 match, Pakistan won convincingly against Bangladesh by seven wickets on Wednesday.
The trio of Shaheen Afridi, Haris Rauf, and Naseem Shah, who have captivated fans who watch Asia Cup 2023 , are the driving force behind exceptional performances in this year’s tournament.
Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Sri Lanka have all departed for Colombo. However, Bangladesh, with only two points, will not be able to reach the final if their matches are washed out.
On the other hand, Sri Lanka and India will find themselves in a unique situation.
With both teams having three points and an identical Net Run Rate, a coin toss will determine which team can compete in the final. This would be such a bummer for thousands anticipating to watch India vs Pakistan Asia Cup 2023 at the final.
There’s more intrigue, or lack thereof, for millions of cricket fans awaiting a captivating event. In case the rain gods decide to play spoilsport on September 17, the final match will be called off, and the two teams will share the trophy.
