During the Asia Cup 2023, India and Pakistan match in the Super Four had a reserve day. Apparently, there was a gap for a day before the Men In Blue’s next game against Sri Lanka. As it turned out, the INDO-PAK match was shifted to the reserve day due to rain. In that game, India beat Pakistan by a record 228 runs and scored 356/2, a record total.
Talking about the upcoming game, there is less chance of rain as per the weather reports. However, if the rain arrives surprisingly, both teams need to play 20 overs each that will bring about a result. If this is not possible, both teams will move on to their respective next games of the tournament.
