Rain Enforces Delays in the India v/s Pakistan Asia Cup 2023

 Rain has been a big factor in the ongoing Asia Cup with almost every match which is being played in Sri Lanka getting affected due to it. However it is India and Pakistan who seem to be the most affected as heavy rains in Colombo on September 10 pushed the super 4 encounter between the arch rivals to the reserved day.

Due to similar factors, the earlier match between the two, which took place during the group stages, had failed to create any outcomes. The second inning was a total washout, leaving only one inning to be played.During the second encounter, right at the midwest stage of the Indian innings, who were invited to bat by Pakistan the intense spell of rain brought a halt to the contest following which no play was possible.

The match will now continue from where it stopped today as Virat Kohli along with Kale Rahul will resume action from 147 to 2 in 24.1 overs.

The match will remain a 50 over a side contest but before we get excited any further rain is predicted to once again headline the India v/s Pakistan proceedings on the reserve day. The forecast does not appear promising and the rain is most likely to force another washout between the two sides.

It will come as a huge blow to India if they once again have to share the spoils with Pakistan who have already won a super 4 encounter. Pakistan is leading the table with a net run rate of 1.051. India,on the other hand, is participating in its very first Super 4 game and would like to begin with a good start.
