Asia Cup 2023, IND vs PAK HIGHLIGHTS: Match called off due to rain

India had posted 266/10 in 48.5 overs in their innings. Men in Blue, boosted by the return of pacer Bumrah, did not get to show off their bowling prowess as rain did not allow any further action

Asia Cup 2023, India vs Pakistan HIGHLIGHTS

Ishan Kishan and Hardik Pandya produced a wonderful rescue act while Shaheen Shah Afridi bowled a fiery spell but rain forced India and Pakistan to split points in an Asia Cup match that had all the ingredients of a thrilling finish.

 

Before the heavens opened up, India posted 266 all out in 48.5 overs.

 

Kishan (82 off 81 balls) and Pandya (87 off 90 balls) milked 138 runs for the fifth wicket stand off 141 balls to lift their side from 66 for 4 in 14.1 overs.

 

The no result meant that Pakistan ended their Group A proceedings with 3 points, and it also assured them of a place in the Super Four of the tournament.

 

India, who logged a point from their opening fixture, are expected to beat Nepal on Monday and progress to the Super Four.

 

However, the match offered some bright points to both the teams before the soggy end.

 

From an Indian perspective, the performance of Kishan and Pandya will be treated as a happy portend.

 

They joined forces after Pakistan pacers Afridi, who accounted for Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli early, and Haris Rauf combined to rock India's top-order.

 

In a sense, it was a rather unfamiliar job for both Pandya and Kishan batsmen who generally love to give a wallop to the bowlers.

What is DLS Method in cricket?
 

Ever wondered how a score target is set for the team batting second after the match was interrupted by rain? The method, which is used to ascertain the score, is a mathematical formulation devised by two statisticians Frank Duckworth and Tony Lewis in England. As the method came under the custody of Professor Steven Stern, it is known as the Duckworth-Lewis-Stern method or DLS method.

 

The method was devised to set a fair target for the second team's inning with the same level of difficulty as the target scored in the first inning. TAP HERE FOR READ MORE AND DLS METHOD CALCULATION
