Reserve Day For Ind Vs Pak: BCB And SLC Released Official Statement
Reserve Day For Ind Vs Pak:
Recently, it was announced that the match between Pakistan and India in the group stage of the Asia Cup 2023 will also have a reserve day.
The group stage match between Pakistan and India was played in Sri Lanka but the match was washed out due to rain.
Fans as well as the broadcasters were very disappointed as the match between Pakistan and India was washed out on 2 SEPTEMBER, 2023.
It is because fans wait a lot for this high-voltage clash and ACC doesn’t want another Pakistan-India match to be washed out due to rain.
The Super 4 match between Pakistan and India is scheduled on 10 SEPTEMBER, 2023 but in case of any rain, a reserve day will be there to complete the match on 11 SEPTEMBER, 2023.
Some matches of the 2023 Asia Cup edition are scheduled to be played in Sri Lanka but the weather situation in Sri Lanka is not good and that’s why ACC has taken this decision.
BCB And SLC Released Official Statement:
Social media raised their voice on this matter as they questioned why is there only a reserve day for the Ind-Pak contest but not for the other Super 4 matches.
The boards of Sri Lanka and Bangladesh have now officially clarified this matter and the decision of reserve day for Ind-Pak was taken by the consent of all four boards.
Sri Lankan Cricket Board tweeted, ‘’ The reserve day for the India-Pakistan contest of the Super 11 Asia Cup Super 4 stage was taken in consultation with all four member boards of the Super 4 competing teams ‘’.
‘’ Accordingly, the ACC effectively revised the playing conditions of the tournament to effect the agreed upon change ‘’, SLC concluded.
Bangladesh Cricket Board tweeted, ‘’ A reserve day for the Indian Pakistan contest in the Super 11 Asia Cup Super 4 stage has been added that effectively revised the Asia Cup playing conditions ‘’.
‘’ To clarify on the position, the decision was taken with the consent of all four participating teams and ACC ‘’, BCB concluded.
The SUPER 4 stage as well as the final of the Asia Cup 2023 will be played from 9 SEPTEMBER, 2023 to 17 SEPTEMBER, 2023 in SRILANKA.
