What if rain happens on the reserve day of the India vs Pakistan Asia Cup clash?

India vs Pakistan match abandoned due to rain

Since the start of the Asia Cup 2023, apart from the India vs Pakistan clash, one more thing has been discussed exceptionally among the fans, which is whether rain would happen in today’s match or not, as the majority of the Asia Cup matches are already being spoiled by the rain. In fact, the last match of India, which was against Nepal, also got delayed due to rain, plus the first match of the Indian team in the Asia Cup 2023, which was against Pakistan, got abandoned due to a heavy downpour. India and Pakistan again clashed yesterday, September 10th, and the same story repeated itself: rain stopped play.

As a reserve day for the India vs Pakistan clash has been decided earlier, the only thing that keeps coming to everyone’s mind is what if rain again leads to the stoppage. In that scenario, would India be eligible to go forward on the table or slip back? The answer to that question is that if rain again spoils the contest and the match can’t be continued, then both teams would get 1 point each, which would increase Pakistan’s lead in the points table and allow them to remain in the top spot in the Super Four stage. However, India, after getting the points, would be in the third position, just behind Sri Lanka, who have already won a match against Bangladesh in the Super Four stage.

Bangladesh, after losing two matches in the Super Four, is almost out of the finals race, and now the tournament is confined to three teams: India, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka. India during the match against Pakistan yesterday started their innings well, as both openers scored their fifties and gave the team the start it needed. If play resumes, then KL Rahul and Virat Kohli will be seen starting the reserve day. India, before the rain stopped the play, was 147/2 in 24.1 overs.
