Rain is likely to wash out the reserve day of the Super Four IND vs PAK game in Asia Cup 2023 on Monday.

Cricket fans from across the world are all hoping that they can see a complete game of cricket between India and Pakistan at the moment. The Super Four game, which was scheduled to be played on Sunday, was moved to a reserve day (Monday) due to rain. After winning the toss, Pakistan elected to bowl first. But the Indian openers made a mockery of that decision and added 121 runs in just 16.4 overs.

Rohit Sharma made his 50th ODI half-century off 42 balls and 56 off 49 balls, including six fours and four sixes. Shubman Gill took the attack to the opposition and scored a 37-ball half-century and made 58 off 52, including 10 boundaries. Team India are currently at 147/2 in 24.1 overs with Virat Kohli (8*) and KL Rahul (17*) at the crease.

Apart from that, it is still raining in Colombo at the moment.

Looking at all these pictures and videos, one can say that there are possible chances and we might not get a game. And if it happens, it will be a wholesome disappointment for the fans who are desperate to see these two teams produce yet another thriller. Well, the Asian Cricket Council (ACC) specially added a reserve day for this game only.

But if the reserve day also gets washed out, then it will end with no result. In that case, both teams will share one point each. That might not help, as the remaining games for both teams will become must-win contests. India will have to win both matches against Sri Lanka and Bangladesh, while Pakistan need to win their last game against Sri Lanka.
