Asia Cup 2023: Ind vs Pak play called off due to rain, heads into reserve day

Heavy rainfall interrupted the Asia Cup showdown between India and Pakistan on Sunday, forcing the game to pause. At the moment, the rain hit the Premadasa Stadium, India had reached a score of 147/2 in 24.1 overs. The batting duo of Virat Kohli (8) and K L Rahul (17) was at the crease following impressive half-centuries by openers Rohit Sharma (56) and Shubman Gill (58).

The match was ultimately called off at 8.45 PM IST despite numerous inspections. India is scheduled to continue their innings on the reserve day, which is tomorrow. The Asia Cup match featuring India and Pakistan had to be called off due to rain. To account for this, organizers have designated a reserve day for the highly anticipated India-Pakistan showdown.

In the event that the match cannot be finished today, it will be resumed tomorrow. The weather has been a major point of discussion throughout the Sri Lanka leg of the Asia Cup, as continuous rain is anticipated in the Sri Lankan capital for the duration of the tournament.
