India vs Pakistan Asia Cup 2023 Super 4 Weather Updates: Play Resumes In Colombo, No Overs Lost

IND vs PAK: Play to resume

Play to resume at 9:20 PM IST with no overs being lost despite losing an hour's play due to rain and wet outfield. So, the match will resume as a 50-over contest in which Pakistan need 313 runs to win from 39 overs.

IND vs PAK: Covers off again!

The groundstaff are removing the covers just few minutes after bringing them on. The umpires are out for inspection. If there is no more rain in the next few minutes, play should resume soon.

IND vs PAK: Weather Update at 9 PM IST

Only the square and the pitches were under cover till now, but the groundstaff seem to bringing more covers on to cover more area of the outfield as well. There must be a slight drizzle or there seems to be anticipation of another spell of rain soon.

IND vs PAK: Weather update at 8:36 PM IST

It seems to have stopped raining in Colombo as the groundstaff can be seen on the field back at work. The covers are slowly being removed. Play could resume soon.

IND vs PAK: Reserve Day Cut Off Time

There is still a long way to go for this match is called off as the cut off time is 12 AM IST (Tuesday, September 12). Also to obtain a result today, Pakistan should have faced 20 overs. They have already played 11 overs. If there is no further play, the points will be shared, but as it stands the rain doesn't seem to be pouring down and there is still at least 3 and half hours left to squeeze in those 9 overs.

IND vs PAK: Equation for truncated match

Covers are in place as the rain gets heavier in Colombo. India are on top with Pakistan losing Babar Azam and Imam Ul Haq in the first 11 overs. Pakistan will hope that rain washes out any play as they could be well behind if the match resumes and 20 overs are bowled to obtain a result.

If rain stops play after the 20th over (and if there is no play after that), Pakistan, to win at that stage, needs to be...
108/0
122/1
140/2
161/3 #INDvsPAK #INDvPAK #AsiaCup2023
