Asia Cup: What happens if India-Pakistan match gets washed out again
India and Pakistan lock horns for a second time in the 2023 Asia Cup, with the action moving to Colombo’s R Premadasa Stadium
India got off to a promising start in bright and sunny conditions, with Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill scoring fifties and sharing a 121-run opening stand
The match, however, was always under the threat of heavy rain, and the fears came true on Sunday, with players beating a retreat midway into the Indian innings
The India-Pakistan contest, though, is unique compared to the other Asia Cup fixtures as it is the only Super Four game to get a ‘Reserve Day’
So what happens if rain plays spoilsport on both days of the India-Pakistan Super Four clash?
India and Pakistan will share points for a second time in the 2023 Asia Cup, and can accumulate a maximum of five points in the Super Four stage
Sri Lanka thus, will be the only team that can collect full six points from the Super Fours. Bangladesh, on the other hand, are on the verge of elimination with two defeats
India will hope to win both of their remaining games in order to ensure a third Asia Cup final in four editions
