In the Super Four stage of the Asia Cup, the match between Pakistan and India, which was abandoned yesterday due to rain, will be played once more today, but rain is still forecast in Colombo today.
In the Super Four stage of the Asia Cup, the Pakistan-India clash between the traditional rivals yesterday had to be stopped due to the intervention of rain, which might not be restarted due to the damaged outfield. When the match was stopped, India had made 147 for the loss of two wickets in 24.1 overs.
The match today will start from where it ended. Virat Kohli at the crease with 8 runs and KL Rahul with 17 runs, but the Meteorological Department has predicted rain in Colombo today and for the next week. Due to the interference of rain, the match can be limited to fewer overs, but if the match is not played today, both teams will be awarded one point each.
Yesterday, Pakistani captain Babar Azam decided to bat first following winning the toss, which proved wrong and the Indian openers completed the team’s century in just 14 overs. The two put on a quick partnership of 121 runs in 16.4 overs, which was broken by Shadab Khan taking the wicket of Rohit Sharma. Shaheen Shah took the wicket of the second opener Shubman Gill on 123 runs and both the batsmen scored half-centuries.
Pakistan’s poor fielding in the match also gave the Indian batsmen an opportunity to play openly. After two catches were dropped off Naseem Shah’s balls early on, Rohit and Shubman batted smoky all around the field. With the mission of completing the unfinished match, both teams will enter the field today at 2.30 pm.
The Pakistani team consists of these players:
Babar Azam (captain), Shadab Khan (vice-captain), Fakhar Zaman, Imamul Haq, Mohammad Rizwan, Iftikhar Ahmed, Salman Agha, Faheem Ashraf, Shaheen Shah Afridi, Haris Rauf and Naseem Shah.
The Indian team consists of these players:
Rohit Sharma (captain), Hardik Pandya (vice-captain), Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Ishan Kishan, KL Rahul, Ravindra Jadeja, Shirdal Thakur, Kuldeep Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammad Siraj
