Rain spoiled yet another India vs Pakistan encounter at the ongoing Asia Cup 2023. The Super 4 clash will continue on the reserve day, which is Monday. Weather was a major concern with rains predicted on the day of the match. The proceedings started off in bright and clear conditions, raising hopes of a full 50-over contest. But it started raining in the 25th over.

The rain didn't last very long but the intensity was enough to leave the outfield wet. While the ground staffs worked hard to get the field ready, another spell of showers forced the umpires to call it a day.

India were batting at 147/2 in 24.1 overs with Virat Kohli and KL Rahul present in the middle. The contest will resume from the same point on the reserve day. India will hope to pile as many runs in the remaining 25.5 overs. A minimum of 20 overs must be bowled in both innings to determine a result. Reserve day has only been allotted to the India vs Pakistan, Asia Cup 2023 Super 4 encounter, while other matches will produce no result if rain washes out the proceedings.
