INDIA VS PAKISTAN
The match between India and Pakistan in the Asia Cup 2023 Super Fours was abandoned due to rain. India was 266 for 4 in 42 overs when the rain came.
The key points of the match were:
* India was put into bat and made a good start, with Rohit Sharma and Shikhar Dhawan putting on 53 for the first wicket. * However, the Pakistan bowlers struck back and reduced India to 66 for 4. * Ishan Kishan and Hardik Pandya then rescued the innings with a 138-run partnership for the fifth wicket. * Kishan was the leading scorer for India with 82, while Pandya made 87. * The Pakistan bowlers were led by Shaheen Afridi, who took 4 wickets for 35 runs. * The rain came with India well placed to post a challenging total.
The match was a disappointment for both teams, as they were eager to play in the first India-Pakistan ODI since the 2019 World Cup. However, the weather conditions made it impossible to continue the match.
The next match between India and Pakistan will be in the final of the Asia Cup, which is scheduled to be played on September 16.
