Rain Forces India-Pakistan Match into Reserve Day

In the super-four stage of the India-Pakistan match, rain played spoilsport, leading to the postponement of Sunday's match. However, the two teams will return to the field on Monday (September 11) since the reserve day is available.

Cricketers have been informed that where the play ended today, the match will resume from that point on Monday. This means that India batted for 24 overs on Sunday. Rohit Sharma's team will have the opportunity to complete the remaining overs with their batting on Monday.

Similar to previous days, the match on Monday will start at 3:30 PM local time in Bangladesh. However, there is no certainty about which two teams will bat safely tomorrow. The Meteorological Department has stated that the weather in Colombo on Monday may be similar to that on Sunday.

Today's match was somewhat frustrating for the Indian team since they had to leave the field after playing for only three days. This has put a bit of pressure on the Indian cricketers, as they will have to return to the field for three consecutive days to play three One-Day International (ODI) matches, which can be physically demanding. India's second Super Four match against Sri Lanka will be held on Tuesday (September 12).

Today's match started at a specified time. However, India lost two of its batsmen in the 25th over due to rain interruptions. Before that, they had lost 2 wickets for 147 runs in 24.1 overs. The batsmen on the crease at that time were Virat Kohli and Lokesh Rahul.

Before that, India had lost the toss and chose to bat. Rohit Sharma and Shikhar Dhawan, the opening pair, faced a challenging start from the Pakistani bowlers. They formed a partnership of over 100 runs. The opening pair was separated after scoring 147 runs in 24.1 overs. Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill took an aggressive approach to the batting and added more than 50 runs in just 49 balls. Rohit Sharma fell victim to Shahin Afridi after scoring 58 runs in 52 balls. In the very next over, Shubman Gill, who scored 56 runs in 52 balls, was also dismissed.

Finally, the inaugural partnership broke in the 16.4th over with 121 runs on the board. Shahid Afridi claimed Rohit Sharma as his prey after scoring 58 runs off 52 balls. In the next over, Shubman Gill, who scored 56 runs off 52 balls, was also dismissed.
