Rain played spoilsport during the third Super 4 match of the Asia Cup 2023 between the arch-rivals India and Pakistan.
In the match, Pakistan won the toss and chose to bowl first, with India at 147/2 in 24.1 overs with India reaching 147/2 in 24.1 overs before the rain intervened. The game will now resume on the reserve day, Monday, September 11, with the same scoreline.

However, the game on Monday could be marred by rain yet again, with the weather forecast indicating a 100% chance of precipitation and humidity at 95%. Now, the question arises: what will happen if India vs. Pakistan Super 4 match is abandoned due to rain?
Here it’s worth noting that at least 20 overs need to be completed in each innings for a result. In the event of a complete washout during the Super 4 match on the reserve day, India and Pakistan will both earn match points.
As India’s match with the Men in Blue is now scheduled for the reserve day, Rohit Sharma & Co. faces a tight schedule, with a Super Four match against Sri Lanka less than 24 hours after the conclusion of the Pakistan game on Tuesday.
Earlier in the tournament, India’s eagerly awaited Group A fixture at Pallekele Stadium was abandoned due to rain and both teams shared one point each.
