India vs Pakistan, Asia Cup 2023 Match Weather Forecast – Rain Clouds Loom Large
The weather forecast for Saturday, 2 September, in Kandy is not particularly optimistic, but contrary to initial fears, it is unlikely that the game will be a complete washout.
Here is the current weather prediction for the central Sri Lankan city:
As per Weather.com, the chances of rain are quite high during the early hours of Saturday, but the conditions are likely to improve post-noon. From 5:30am to 12:30pm, however, the chances of rain vary from 62% to 73%.
The chances will then gradually decrease as the day progresses, and by 5:30pm, the weather is expected to be conducive for a match. With the fixture scheduled to commence at 3pm local time, it is expected that we will witness cricket at the Pallekele International Cricket Stadium, even if it is a rain-curtailed, DLS-infused version of the game.
Chances of rain in Kandy on 2 September:
- From 5:30am to 12:30pm – 62% to 73%
- From 1:30pm to 4:30pm – 58% to 60%
- From 5:30pm to the end of the day – 21% to 24%
The last time the two teams have played against each other in the ODIs was way back in 2019 World Cup, where India has registerd a thumping 89-run win. In the last five ODI matches, India are leading 4-1 in head-to-head. Their only loss was at Oval in the 2017 Champions Trophy final.
