Colombo Rain Dampens Pakistan’s Preparation for Super Eight Opener

Persistent rainfall in Colombo has disrupted the Pakistan men’s cricket team’s final preparations, forcing the cancellation of their practice session at the RPS Stadium before the Pakistan vs New Zealand Super Eight opener. 

While weather prevented the 2009 champions from training, head coach Mike Hesson still plans to address the media today at 6:30 pm PKT regarding tactical adjustments. After finishing second in Group A with three wins, the Green Shirts must now rely on momentum from their group-stage successes.
