Pakistan-India match washed away by rain
The teams will now share points while Green Shirts qualified for the Super 4s.
Rain washed out the thrilling Pakistan-India Asia Cup 2023 match at the Pallakele Stadium in Sri Lanka on Saturday and brought about an anticlimactic end as the Green Shirts were left waiting for their chance at the bat.
India were bowled out for 266 in the 49th over against Pakistan and had set a target of 267. The teams will now share points while the Green Shirts qualified for the Super 4s.
None too glad about the development, the Pakistan Cricket Board said rain acted as the “spoilsport” in the second innings.
India set a target of 267 for the boys in green. It was a doable total since India were under siege by Pakistan’s pace attack led by Shaheen Shah Afridi, Haris Rauf and Naseem Shah. It was up to skipper Babar Azam and his batters to take it home before rain poured water over those hopes.
