India and Pakistan last faced off just eight days ago in Pallekele, where the match was washed out due to rain after the first innings. Now, this match faces a similar threat, as the weather forecast for the day does not look promising. Fortunately, a reserve day is in place for this Super 4 contest. In the event of rain today, the match will be rescheduled for tomorrow. On September 9th, the weather forecast for the Sri Lanka vs Bangladesh match was similar to what we’re seeing for the IND vs. PAK game today. Despite the forecast, the weather remained clear, and Sri Lanka and Bangladesh played a full, uninterrupted 50-over match. India will be looking forward to a full game today which looks improbable.

This highly anticipated fixture highlights the rivalry; it’s an emotional spectacle cherished by fans worldwide. Over the years, India and Pakistan have engaged in numerous memorable battles on the cricket field. Each match has left an indelible mark on fans’ memories, from Javed Miandad’s last-ball six in Sharjah in 1986 to Sachin Tendulkar’s Desert Storm in 1998, from Pakistan’s Champions Trophy final victory against India in 2017 to Virat Kohli’s Thunderstorm in the 2022 World Cup match.
