[Saba Sports News] The relentless downpour that has plagued R.Premadasa Stadium in Colombo has tested the patience of fans and players alike, as the Pakistan vs India Super 4 match in the Asia Cup 2023 remains suspended since that fateful Sunday, September 10.
The dedicated ground staff has been toiling tirelessly to restore the ground to a playable condition, employing every conceivable method to eliminate the moisture from the outfield.
On the subsequent day, Monday, September 11, which served as the reserved match day, keen-eyed observers noted an interesting development on the field. The diligent groundsmen resorted to the use of Halogen lights to expedite the drying process of the pitch.
This innovative approach was captured in an image that quickly spread across various social media platforms, underscoring the earnest efforts being made to salvage the much-anticipated match from the grip of Mother Nature’s unpredictability.
