A reserve day has been assigned to the game between India and Pakistan on 11 September. India and Pakistan will meet on 10th September at Colombo for the Asia Cup 2023, super 4s stage. India and Pakistan previously played on 2 September for the league stage along with Nepal.
The match at Kandy was washed away due to heavy rains after the first innings, leading to the game being tied and both teams were awarded one point each. The Pakistan bowlers dismissed India’s batting order for 266 runs at the end of 48.5 overs.
Pakistan played their first game of the Super 4s stage against Bangladesh and sealed an easy victory to move up on the points table. At the same time, India is expected to play their first match of the Super 4s against Pakistan.

Why reserve a day for India vs Pakistan?
If the game on 10th September is abandoned due to rain. The first attempt will be to conclude the clash by reducing the number of overs but if there is no chance of saving the game on the same day, then the game will be shifted to the reserve day on 11 September.
The PCB has advised the spectators to save the tickets to use the same on the reserve day if the game gets abandoned. The Indian vs Pakistan game will be the only match to have a reserve day in the Asia Cup and not even the final game as of now.
