In the Asia Cup One Day International against Pakistan, India's entire team was bowled out after scoring 266 runs in the 49th over, giving Pakistan a target of 267 runs to win. However, rain has caused a delay in the start of Pakistan's innings.
Just as the Indian innings concluded, rain started pouring down again, making the ground wet and causing a delay in the match. Due to the match being delayed by over an hour, there is a possibility of Pakistan's innings being reduced, and a revised target being set.
If Pakistan's innings is limited to 45 overs, the target will be reduced to 254 runs. In 40 overs, it will be 239 runs, in 30 overs, it will be 203 runs, and in 20 overs, the target will be 155 runs.
Before this, the Indian team managed to score 266 runs before getting all out in 48.5 overs. In the final eight overs of the match, Pakistan's bowlers displayed excellent control, preventing the Indian batting lineup from posting a big score.
From the Pakistani side, Shoaib Afridi and Nasim Shah initiated a pace attack and maintained pressure on the Indian openers for the first four overs.
However, rain forced the game to be halted for more than half an hour at this point.
When the game resumed, Shoaib Afridi seemed to find a better rhythm and dismissed Indian captain Rohit Sharma on the third ball of his over.
Following that, Shoaib Afridi increased the pressure on the Indian batting and, on the third ball of his very next over, bowled out Virat Kohli, achieving his second success for the team. Rohit Sharma scored 15 runs, while Virat Kohli could only manage four runs.
