‘Why Special Treatment?’ Fans Left Disappointed As Only India vs Pakistan Asia Cup 2023 Match in Super Four Stage Given Reserve Day

Fans were not very pleased when the Asian Cricket Council (ACC) gave a reserve day for only the India vs Pakistan match in the Super Four stage in Asia Cup 2023 on September 10. The previous Group A contest between the Asian heavyweights was washed out due to rain in Pallekele. It was understandable that the ACC gave a reserve day for the India vs Pakistan clash in the Super Four stage, given the massive craze and buzz surrounding this fixture. But fans on social media were not very pleased with only the IND vs PAK match being given such 'special treatment'. Here's how they reacted on social media after this was made official. Sri Lanka and Bangladesh Cricket Boards Issue Statements Following Controversial India vs Pakistan Reserve Day in Asia Cup 2023.

'Why Special Treatment?'

ACC, PCB and BCCI have made a joke out of #AsiaCup2023. How come only #INDvPAK has a reserve day, and other games don't? India or Pakistan are not the defending champs as well, so why special treatment? Dismal state of affairs #CricketTwitter

'Clear Case of Favouritism'

It's time Sri Lanka and Bangladesh should boycott Asia Cup 2023 for having reserve day for #INDvsPAK match.

Clear case of favouritism of teams to cover a mismanaged tournament. A pinnacle tournament in shambles because the people running the body aren't competent enough.

'How Can You Discriminate'

How can u discriminate against the other 2 teams if the news of Ind v Pak game having a reserve day is indeed true.

And how can ICC even recognise such a tournament if 2 teams have an unfair advantage of gaining an extra pt if some games of other teams are washed out !

'Unfair'

Worst decision to have a reserve day for only Ind vs Pak match.

It is unfair for defending champion SL & Bangladesh.

Pressure from the main stakeholder for the TRP & advertisement.

Host is not in the profit making zone.

Big boards should responsible.#CricketTwitter pic.twitter.com/YoyaOJgLdM

'All Four Teams Are Equal'

Good to have a reserve day, but then we should have it for all the group stage games, and not just for IND VS PAK. From a tournament's POV, I guess all the matches should be on same priorities. Don't get me wrong,Even I am looking forward to this match, but all 4 teams are equal https://t.co/Fi7TCkD9Am

'India, Pakistan Are Only Important'

Reserve day only for India- Pakistan game during Asia Cup’s super 4 round! Next time ACC should organize a 7 match bilateral series between 🇮🇳 &🇵🇰 and give the winner the Asia cup.

No use in having 🇱🇰🇧🇩🇦🇫& other Asian teams since 🇮🇳🇵🇰 is more important! #AsiaCup #INDvsPAK
