Pak vs Ind: Start of play on reserve day delayed due to rain

Pakistan-India match’s nightmarish affair with rain in Asia Cup 2023 continued on Monday — the day reserved to complete the match because of rain the previous day — as the restart originally scheduled for 2:30pm (PST) has been delayed yet again. Pakistan and India are set to resume their Super Four stage Asia Cup match today in Colombo, with rain predicted to play spoilsport yet again on the reserve day. The first match between the two arch rivals in the ongoing tournament was washed out, with the Green Shirts left waiting for their chance to bat. The second match between the two, which took place on Sunday, was also abandoned after just 24.1 overs of play. However, this time around, authorities had prepared a contingency plan and announced a reserve day (today) for the Super Four clash — the only game to get the advantage other than the final. India were 147/2 at the first ball of the 24th over when the play was paused. Virat Kohli and KL Rahul will resume their innings when the match starts.
