Breaking News: Pakistan Vs India Asia Cup 2023 Cricket Match Stop

Here’s the unfortunate update. The match has been called off. Both teams get one point each … and … Pakistan are through to the Super Fours! We were able to witness just one innings but it was action-packed before rain played spoilsport. 

With the conditions being overcast, both captains surprisingly wanted to bat first. Rohit called it right at the toss and got going with a couple of boundaries off Shaheen Afridi’s bowling. 

The tall left-arm speedster altered his length after a rain break to dismiss Rohit and Kohli in quick succession. Rauf nipped out Shreyas Iyer and Gill which saw India getting reduced to 66/4 in the 15th over. 

With their backs against the wall, India fought back with a fantastic 138-run partnership between Ishan Kishan and Hardik Pandya. Both of them fell in their 80s and India once again slipped (losing their last 5 wickets for 27 runs) to get bowled out for 266. 

The Pakistan pace troika took all the 10 wickets and India posted a competitive total despite a top-order collapse. Alas, there was no more cricketing action.
