India will take on Pakistan in the Super 4 stage of the 2023 Asia Cup©AFP
Legendary Pakistan pacer Shoaib Akhtar had a warning for the Indian cricket team ahead of the India-Pakistan Super 4 match at the Asia Cup 2023 on Sunday. Cricket fans around the world are eagerly awaiting the match after the group stage match between the two sides was abandoned due to rain. The weather forecast also predicted the chance of rain in Colombo, but Akhtar took to social media to give a weather update after his flight landed. In a video posted to X (formerly Twitter), he had a few words for his followers. “Just landed in Colombo. Excited about Pakistan vs India. Weather looks fantastic,” read the caption of the video.
‘After, God knows how many years, I landed in Colombo. But good to be here again. Great country and great people. And the weather… it looks good!” he said in the video.

“Bach is rehnaPakistanz (Beware of Pakistan)…,” Akhtar added with a smile.
The Asian Cricket Council (ACC) on Friday announced a reserve day for the India-Pakistan match scheduled to take place on September 10 at the R Premadasa International Cricket Stadium in Colombo, Sri Lanka. If bad weather suspends play during the India-Pakistan match, the match will resume on September 11 from the point at which it was suspended.
The decision was widely criticized as no match in the Super 4 stage was given a reserve day and fans on social media quickly called for equal importance for all Asia Cup matches.
