The opening day of this Test has been thoroughly dominated by Pakistan! A brilliant show with both ball and bat from them and that has propelled them into a commanding position. After Sri Lanka won the toss and opted to bat, they were rocked early. ?Abrar Ahmed shone with the ball as well and finished with a 4-fer. Sri Lanka were bowled out for 166 within two sessions.



In reply, Pakistan lost Imam early but after that, it was a solid show from Shafique and Masood. Sri Lanka missed some chances though. They didn't take a review for lbw against Masood and that saved him and Shafique was dropped by Jayasuriya off his own bowling. Both of them kept finding the boundaries regularly. The visitors only trail by 21 runs on the Stumps of Day 1.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="sl-vs-pak-day-2-overview">SL vs PAK Day 2 Overview </h2>



On Day 2, the morning session only allowed 10 overs of play, and rain intervened. Shafique and Babar both displayed a strong game and gave Pakistan the lead. Pakistan will be eager to maintain their bazball-type strategy since the weather forecast for tomorrow does not appear to be favorable. Shafique is very close to a century, while Babar has so far played some elegant shots in his brief stay.

However, there is still a lot of time left in this match, as Pakistan has a dominating lead with 8 wickets remaining. They are in terrific shape as they bowled out Sri Lanka in only two sessions and have scored more than 4.50 runs per over.

ACC TO WEATHER.COM, the weather is predicted to be overcast and rainy throughout the day in Colombo. As the weather websites show, there are high chances of rain for Day 3 which would affect the match. A 50+% chance of rain is predicted in the morning hours and drops to 20% at mid-noon and in the evening. It hopefully ain?t going to eat up the complete day and we can watch some action. The Temperature in the morning is expected to be around 28? C and stay around 30?C for the day.



Winds with a speed of around 15-17KMPH will gust towards the Southwest. Humidity will also stay at the average rate of 80%. So, the possibilities of rain are there in the morning hours but we can hope for a pretty healthy and decent part of SL vs PAK day 3 of 2nd test match.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="sl-vs-pak-day-3-pitch-report">SL vs PAK Day 3 Pitch Report</h2>



An obvious flat track! The Sinhalese Sports Club Ground offers a batsman-friendly surface where spinners may effectively contribute by extracting turn and bounce right from day 1. On this field, bats who can successfully handle spin have an edge in terms of scoring significant runs.



As of now, Surface is gripping a bit but not as much that can beat the batter. Spin is helping and bowlers need to hit the right area to get a breakthrough.

SL vs PAK Day 4: "England have Bazball so Pakistan have Pakball." This quote is making headlines as Pakistan are treating Sri Lanka the same way that England did to them. Pakistan batted beautifully and gained a massive lead of 397 runs at the Stumps of Day 3. The weather was better than what was forecasted and now all eyes are on the weather report of day 4. This post will let you know the SL vs PAK Day 4 Weather Forecast and Pitch Report of Sinhalese Sports Club,&nbsp;Colombo.

Pakistan were flawless today and played aggressive cricket. They charged selected bowlers and squeeze the maximum out of it. With their fierce stance, they stretched 12 runs lead to 397 runs lead in just a day of Test cricket and overall, it was a day of utter domination from Pakistan.



Agha Salman's second Test century, Saud Shakeel's record-setting half-century, Abdullah Shafique's first double hundred, and more highlights made the visitors delighted. The Sri Lankan team was let down by their batsmen on the first day, but today they made mistakes with the ball. 



It's reasonable to say that they have been batted out of the Test, and their only option now is to continue to bat for a very long time in the hopes of salvaging a draw. Pakistan might declare overnight or they might play for one more session and extend their lead over 450 and then declare.

Pakistan has defeated Afghanistan in the second ODI by one wicket, and They are leading the series by 2-0. Skipper Babar Azam has given a decent performance in this series, but his team could end up as the number 1 ODI Team in the world if they win the third ODI match.



On the other hand, <a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/?s=Afghanistan" rel="nofollow">Afghanistan </a>played wonderful cricket in the second ODI after having a poor performance in the first match. They will try to continue the same momentum as it was in the last match.

The pitch at R Premadasa Stadium has a balanced wicket, favouring both Batters and Bowlers, but Batters will have an upper edge as the wicket is slightly more helpful toward them due to its flat and dry nature.

SL vs BAN: After a break for 2 days, Asia Cup 2023 action is back with Dasun Shanaka-led Sri Lanka taking on Shakib-al-Hasan-led Bangladesh today in Match 2 of Asia Cup 2023 Super 4s at R.Premadasa Stadium Colombo at 03:00 PM (IST). Given that Sri Lanka is now experiencing monsoon season, this match is also under threat of rain. Here, we discuss the SL vs BAN Weather Forecast And Pitch Report Of R. Premadasa Stadium,?Colombo in this post.



<div class="wp-block-rank-math-toc-block" id="rank-math-toc"><h2>Table of Contents</h2><nav><ul><li class=""><a href="#sl-vs-ban-weather-forecast">SL vs BAN Weather Forecast</a></li><li class=""><a href="#sl-vs-ban-pitch-report-of-r-premadasa-stadium">SL vs BAN Pitch Report Of R. Premadasa Stadium</a></li></ul></nav></div>



Sri Lanka achieved victory in both of their matches. This claim is easily misconstrued unless you remember how difficult it was for them to defeat Bangladesh by a mere five wickets after having to chase down a low total of 165. In the subsequent game, they came within two runs of letting Afghanistan pull off an incredible robbery before ultimately defeating them by two runs, in part due to the Afghan team's lack of information.



Bangladesh's batting has been an important matter of concern, particularly with the exception of the seasoned duo of Mushfiqur Rahim and Shakib al Hasan. Bangladesh's batting has been severely hampered as a result of Nazmul Shanto, who amassed scores of 100 and 89, being forced to leave the tournament owing to a hamstring injury.



If we take a Head-to-head comparison, they have faced off in 52 matches out of which, Sri Lanka came out victorious as many as 41 times whereas Bangladesh won 9 times with 2 matches ending in a draw.

According to weather.com, It is a rainy day in Colombo. Thunderstorms are predicted throughout the day with a high percentage of rain possibilities. The temperature of Lanka's Colombo city will be moderate at 28-29?C till the evening and drop further a degree or two at night.

There is a very high possibility that the match is going to be washed out and we also do not have any reserve day for this match. Nevertheless, we hope any action be it of 5 to 10 overs each side takes place and we get a result of the match.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="sl-vs-ban-pitch-report-of-r-premadasa-stadium">SL vs BAN Pitch Report Of R. Premadasa Stadium</h2>



Colombo's R. Premadasa Stadium is well recognized for heavily favoring spinners. Due to the spin-friendly feature, the game may prove to be sluggish throughout certain stages. The hitters will try to be patient at the beginning of the innings because the average score at this stadium is about 250. In the following Asia Cup Super Four match, choosing to bat first after winning the toss could be the best course of action.



If we overlook the 80% probability of rains in Colombo, the surface normally starts out slow before flattening out and assisting batters. However, given the possibility of rain, teams may think of batting first and put on aggressive batting in order to gain the lead through the DLS method.

Today, on 10th September, cricket enthusiasts on both sides of the border are anticipating one of the most eagerly awaited and fiercely contested matches in the sport's history: IND vs PAK. This cricket match transcends boundaries and rivalries; it's more than simply a contest; it's an emotional experience.



Over the years, India and Pakistan have engaged in numerous memorable battles on the cricket field. Each match is etched in the memories of fans, from Javed Miandad's last-ball six in Sharjah in 1986 to Sachin Tendulkar's Desert Storm in 1998, from Pakistan's Champions Trophy final win against India in 2017 to Virat Kohli's Thunderstorm in the 2022 World Cup match.



India and Pakistan last met 8 days ago at Pallekele which was washed out due to rain after the first innings. Now, this match is also in the same danger as the weather forecast of the day is not showing good signs. Thankfully we have a reserve day for this contest of Super 4. If it rains today, the match will be postponed for tomorrow.



Yesterday, on 9th September, the weather forecast for the Sri Lanka and Bangladesh game was as similar as it is for today's IND vs PAK game. Yesterday, the weather was clear unlike the forecast, and Sri Lanka-Bangladesh played a full 50-over uninterrupted match. We are highly hopeful for similar weather conditions.



Down below is the IND vs PAK Weather Forecast and pitch report of R. Premadasa Stadium,?Colombo:

<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="ind-vs-pak-pitch-report-of-r-premadasa-stadium">IND vs PAK Pitch Report Of R. Premadasa Stadium</h2>



The R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo is widely known for greatly benefiting spinners. The spin-friendly function may cause the game to feel slow throughout some stages but it is India vs Pakistan. The average score at this stadium is roughly 250, so the batters will attempt to be patient in the first innings. The greatest strategy in the follow-up Asia Cup Super Four match may be to opt to bat first after winning the toss.



In Colombo, there is an 80% chance of rain, but even so, the surface often begins slowly before flattening out and benefiting batters. However, teams may consider batting first and playing aggressively in order to take the lead utilizing the DLS method given the probability of rain.

IND vs PAK Weather Forecast And Pitch Report Of R. Premadasa Stadium,?Colombo? | India vs Pakistan Asia Cup 2023

ind-vs-pak-weather-forecast-and-pitch-report-of-r-premadasa-stadium-colombo-india-vs-pakistan-asia-cup-2023

IND vs PAK: Day 1 of India vs Pakistan was washed out due to rain; thankfully, this time we have a reserve day (today). But the sad part of the story is that the weather forecast for September 11(today) is worse than that of yesterday as there are even higher chances of rain. This post will walk you through the IND vs PAK Weather Forecast (Reserve Day) And Pitch Report Of R. Premadasa Stadium,&nbsp;Colombo.



<div class="wp-block-rank-math-toc-block" id="rank-math-toc"><h2>Table of Contents</h2><nav><ul><li class=""><a href="#ind-vs-pak-weather-forecast">IND vs PAK Weather Forecast</a></li><li class=""><a href="#ind-vs-pak-pitch-report-of-r-premadasa-stadium">IND vs PAK Pitch Report Of R. Premadasa Stadium</a></li></ul></nav></div>



On the scheduled date of the IND vs PAK Asia Cup 2023 Super 4s match, only 24.1 overs of the match were feasible before rain suspended play. Even though the groundskeepers were fast to cover the center square and the area close to the playing 22 yards, it was raining so hard that it only took a few seconds for the water to start to pile up on the field.



Rain stopped in an hour but the amount of water it poured down was a real challenge to clean up. A mid-wicket square was wet and it took almost 2 hours to get clean up but the umpires were still not satisfied and they decided to call off day 1 of IND vs PAK.



Before all that, Pakistan won the toss and invited India to bat first and Babar mentioned that there was moisture in the pitch and they would like to utilize it up front. Indian top order was very cautious this time and cautiously took Pakistani bowling arsenal into storm. Rohit and Gill, both batted in beast mode and played over the strike rate of 110. 



Pakistan's prime fast bowler Shaheen Shah gathered 31 runs in his first 3 overs. Shadab Khan broke the 121-run opening stand dismissing Rohit at 56(49). Soon, in his second spell, he got rid of Shubman Gill at 58(52). Pakistan made a comeback and now they were in attacking mode but Virat and Rahul showed solid defense and didn't lose a wicket. India are 147-2 at 24.1 overs and the play will resume right from here today.



&nbsp;But the weather today too does not look promising. Down below is the IND vs PAK Weather Forecast (Reserve Day) And Pitch Report Of R. Premadasa Stadium,&nbsp;Colombo:



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="ind-vs-pak-weather-forecast">IND vs PAK Weather Forecast</h2>



IND vs PAK | Reserve day of Match 2 of Asia Cup 2023 Super 4s will take place on September 10 (Monday) at R. Premadasa Stadium, Sri Lanka. The play begins at 3:00 PM IST.

According to weather.com, again, it is a rainy day in Colombo city of Sri Lanka. Thunderstorms are predicted throughout the day with a high percentage of rain possibilities. Nothing better than yesterday but even worse. The temperature of Lanka?s Colombo city will stay at 27?C till the evening and drop further a degree or two (26?C) at night.



Chances of rain are on the higher side. Around an 80% chance of rain at the start of the play and it only goes up going forward. Humidity is also in a higher range of around 85%+. Winds will gust toward the southwest at the speed of ~20kmph during the day and 15kmph during the night.



There is a very high possibility that it is going to rain cats and dogs at the Colombo today as well on the reserve day for this match. Nevertheless, we hope for a full 50-50 overs action to take place and we get a result of the match.



As of 10:00 AM, the sun is out there in Colombo.

India batting coach Sitanshu Kotak has provided a huge fitness update on Mohammed Shami ahead of the third T20I against England. He rubbished off all the rumours of the pacer getting injured and added that calls related to him playing will be taken by the captain and coach. 
Mohammed Shami has been keeping many wondering about his fitness even though he is part of the Indian team for the ongoing T20I series against England. He didn't play in the first match and it raised many speculations that he again has been injured ahead of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025.
Mohammed Shami, who has been out of action since the 2023 World Cup final, made a return to cricket after an ankle injury in the Ranji Trophy for Bengal. He played one game in the red-ball format and then played the Vijay Hazare Trophy. However, he developed swelling in his knee, which was a blow. 
Mohammed Shami was even ruled out of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25, and then BCCI added him to the team for the T20I series against England. This was because they wanted the pacer to be fit completely and get into rhythm ahead of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, which will begin on 19th February.
<h2>Shami is fit but something about him playing or not playing, I am not the one who can answer - India batting coach</h2>
With Mohammed Shami not playing the first two games of the T20I series against England raising speculations over his injury, India's batting coach has provided an update. He said that the fast bowler has no injury concerns and is fit. Speaking to reporters, he said: 
"Yes, Shami is fit but something about him playing or not playing, I am not the one who can answer." 
Sitanshu Kotak revealed that BCCI has kept a separate plan for Mohammed Shami and added that calls related to his inclusion in the XI will be taken by Gautam Gambhir and Suryakumar Yadav. He added: 
"There is definitely a plan (for Shami) for coming matches as well and One-dayers, but the coach Gautam and obviously Surya will take a call. And fitness, definitely not a problem depending on how they are planning to build this load." 
India are 2-0 ahead in the five-match T20I series against England. The third match of the series will be played on Tuesday (28th January) in Rajkot.

After two great games, the Indian cricket team will lock horns with England in the third match of the five-match T20I series. This clash will begin at 7 PM on Tuesday at Niranjan Shah Stadium in Rajkot. The first two matches have ended in India's favor as they have had great contributions from their players.
England had some good performances, but they failed to grab the chances. This will be a do-or-die game for the visitors as they are on the verge of losing the series. Whatever the result will be, there will be fireworks from both sides.
Both teams will enter this game to take down their opponents. In this article, we will talk about the approaching milestones and records for the third IND vs ENG T20I on Tuesday.
IND vs ENG: List of approaching records for the third T20I in Rajkot
2 - Arshdeep Singh has three wickets in the first two games. He is just two wickets away from creating history. With two more wickets, he will become the first Indian bowler to take 100 wickets in T20Is. Remember, he just won the "ICC T20I Player of the Year 2025." If he can do it in Rajkot, he will become the fastest pacer to 100 T20I wickets as well.
2 - Washington Sundar played the second game and took one wicket in one over he bowled. He has now 48 wickets in 53 T20Is and is just 2 wickets away from becoming the 11th Indian with 50 or more T20I wickets.
30 - Jos Buttler is the leading scorer in two games, having scored 113 runs at an average of 56.50. He is England's highest scorer in T20Is and now is just 30 runs away from becoming the fifth-highest scorer overall in T20Is. Buttler needs 32 runs to go past Martin Guptill's tally of 3531 T20I runs.
5 - Indian captain Suryakumar Yadav has failed in both games, but he needs just one good innings to come back to his best. Suryakumar has hit 145 sixes so far and needs just five more to complete 150 sixes and become only the fifth batter to do so. 
24 - English opener Phil Salt needs 24 runs to complete 2000 international runs for England.
69 - Buttler has been superb in the series. If he can score 69 runs, he will become only the 8th English batter of all time to complete 11,500 international runs.
4 - Washington Sundar has represented India in all three formats. He has 96 wickets in his career and needs four more to complete 100 international wickets.

The wait to see Virat Kohli in Delhi colours for the Ranji Trophy is all set to end. The premier India batter is all set to play the final round of the ongoing tournament, which will begin on 30th January, with Delhi taking on Railways at the Arun Jaitley Stadium. 
The reports in ESPNCricinfo have revealed that Virat Kohli will be joining the Delhi team for the next round of the Ranji Trophy on Tuesday (28th January). The India batter will be training with his state team for two days before taking the field against Railways on 30th January.
Virat Kohli playing against Railways will mark the first instance when he will be playing in the Ranji Trophy after 2012. All the Indian players will be returning to domestic cricket after BCCI made it mandatory for the players to play, especially after the debacle in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 
<h2>Virat Kohli playing in the Ranji Trophy will be a great opportunity for him to regain his form</h2>
Virat Kohli playing in the Ranji Trophy will be a great opportunity for him to regain his form. The batter has been struggling to get going in the Tests of late and has been averaging in the mid-20s for the last few years, and this has been a serious cause of concern for the team. 
Returning to domestic cricket will be a great opportunity for him to get back to his best. The batter, since the last week, has been putting the hard yards in Mumbai. He worked with former India batting coach Sanjay Bangar to improve his batting before heading into the Ranji Trophy 2024-25. 
Virat Kohli has been great for India, but in recent times, he has witnessed a decline in the longest format of the game.  He failed miserably in the Tests in 2024. The batter struggled to get runs at home against Bangladesh and New Zealand, and then the same story continued in Australia. 
Kohli started the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 on a high as he hit a blistering ton in the first match of the series. However, after that, he looked clueless with the bat as he managed just 90 runs in the last 4 games. He would be keen to get some runs in Ranji Trophy 2024-25 now and get some confidence under his belt.
