Three continuous days of cricket for India - Men in Blue land in Asia Cup 2023 scheduling mess image

Team India find themselves in a spot of bother after their Asia Cup Super Four encounter against Pakistan was shifted to the reserve day on September 11.

On Sunday, incessant rain in Colombo forced the postponement with India's score reading 147/2 in 24.1 overs after being out into bat.

As a result of this postponement, India have a bit of a problem. India now have three continuous matchdays, as the rain gods land Rohit & Co. in a logistical mess. Having played on September 10, India now play again on September 11 and September 12.

Who are India playing on three continuos days?

After the game on Sunday, Rohit Sharma's men were slated to face Sri Lanka on September 12, in what was their second Super Four clash. There was a day meant for resting between the two matches. 

However, now with the sudden inclusion of reserve day, India will play cricket on three continuous matchdays. India face Pakistan on September 11 (Monday), before playing Sri Lanka on September 12 (Tuesday). 

Not exactly the ideal situation.
