The second match of the Asia Cup Super 4s stage between Pakistan and India has been shifted to the Mahinda Rajapaksa International Cricket Stadium in Hambantota, Geo News quoted sources as saying.

The match was scheduled to be played in Colombo but officials, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, said the September 10 match had been shifted to Hambantota due to the rain forecasts.

Earlier today it was reported that after rain played a spoilsport during Pakistan vs India match on September 2 in Sri Lanka's Kandy city, the Asian Cricket Council (ACC) was deliberating about shifting the venue of matches owing to the unpredictable weather of Colombo.

The development was communicated by the sources after Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Management Committee Chairman Zaka Ashraf contacted ACC President Jay Shah regarding the matter in order to save another match between the archrivals in Colombo from being impacted by the weather

Rain played spoilsport on Saturday, dampening the high hopes of fans to see a thriller between Pakistan and India in the much anticipated Asia Cup 2023 match.

However, the Green Shirts qualified for the Super 4s — despite not having to bat as their run chase was called off due to persistent showers — after a successful day in the field.

Sharing his concerns regarding the unpredictable climate of the tropical island, Ashraf told Shah about the likelihood of more rain in Sri Lanka as well as favourable weather in Pakistan for the tournament to continue without any hindrances.

Rain prevented a result in the Asia Cup group game between Pakistan and India in Pallekele, Sri Lanka.

India were bowled out for 266 in 48.5 overs, with Ishan Kishan hitting 82 and Hardik Pandya scoring 87, while pace bowler Shaheen Afridi took 4-35.

But rain arrived during the interval and did not stop in time for the minimum 20 overs per side to be played.

Conclusion 

It means Pakistan, who won their opener against Nepal, have qualified for the super four stage.

India will join them if they avoid defeat by Nepal in the final Group A game at the same venue on Monday.

Match scorecard Pak vs india

After electing to bat, India slipped to 66-4 before an impressive stand of 138 between Kishan and Hardik.

The innings stalled after both fell, India losing their last five wickets for 27 runs, with fast bowlers Haris Rauf and Naseem Shah taking three wickets each.

The match took place in Sri Lanka after they joined Pakistan as co-hosts of the 50-over tournament.

Since 2013, Pakistan and India have only played each other in ICC global tournaments, or in Asia Cup matches at neutral venues, because of political tensions.

Pakistan's first super four game will be against either Bangladesh or Afghanistan at home in Lahore, with the rest of the tournament then staged in Sri Lankan capital Colombo.
