Asia Cup 2023: Start or Resumption for India vs. Pakistan? If today’s match is canceled due to rain, here is what would happen next
The rain has already come in Colombo, as was widely forecast, interfering with yet another India-Pakistan match in the current Asia Cup 2023.When it first began to sprinkle, it quickly developed into a severe deluge, sending the ground crew scrambling to cover the field.
Having been given the opportunity to bat first by Pakistan in their first Super 4 encounter, India got off to a great start. Before Pakistan fought back with a few devastating punches, Shubman Gill and Rohit Sharma both notched half centuries during a century stand.
Play was at an exciting phase as KL Rahul and Virat Kohli tried to withstand the tense situation as dot balls accumulated. Rain began to fall when India reached 147/2 in 24.1 overs, driving the players back into the changing rooms.
While it is hoped that the rain will cease so that play may get back up. The tournament’s organizers have recently included a reserve day just for this match in the case of a washout. Yes, that occurred just a few days ago.
This is the situation:
If Sunday’s performance is canceled due to rain, the game will pick up Monday where it left off today.
If the rain stops today: If there is a significant delay and play may begin before the deadline, overs will be forfeited and the DLS technique will be used.
What would happen if the rain stopped after the deadline for India’s innings: As a result of DLS calculations, Pakistan will be handed a revised target in a certain number of overs since India has played more than 20 overs in their innings. According to reports, every effort will be made to determine this match tonight, rather than using the reserve day.
In the event that both days are rained out, the teams will split the points equally. But after that, India’s chances of reaching the final would become a bit harder. While Bangladesh has lost both of its matches, Pakistan and Sri Lanka have each won their respective initial matches in this round to earn two points apiece.
