The highly anticipated India vs Pakistan match in Pallekele unfortunately had to be called off due to inclement weather conditions. Regrettably, Pakistan was unable to commence their chase as persistent rain ultimately led to the abandonment of the match.

Earlier in the game, India faced a setback as they were bowled out for a total of 266 runs, with Shaheen Afridi showcasing his prowess by claiming an impressive four-wicket haul. Despite this, the Indian team displayed resilience, with Hardik Pandya (87) and Ishan Kishan (82) delivering commendable performances, both achieving half-centuries.

Initially, India found themselves in a precarious position at 66 for 4, but a remarkable 138-run partnership between Hardik and Kishan revived their chances and brought them back into contention. However, towards the end of the innings, Naseem Shah and Haris Rauf proved to be formidable opponents, each claiming three wickets, thereby denting India's display.
