    The Pakistan vs India clash in the Asia Cup 2023 was called off due to rain at the Pallekele International Cricket Stadium in Kandy, Sri Lanka, on Saturday.

    As the points were shared, the Men in Green secured their place in the Super Four stage.

    Light to moderate showers continued all day but India managed to complete their inning as they batted first.

    The Blues were dismissed for 266 runs as Ishan Kishan and Hardik Pandya scored fifties and brought their side back in the game after India had slipped to 66-4 inside 15 overs.

    Pandya (87 off 90) and Kishan (82 off 81) added 138 runs in 141 balls for the fifth wicket.

    For Pakistan, all the wickets were taken by the pacers. Shaheen Afridi took four while Haris Rauf and Naseem Shah took three wickets each.

    The arch-rivals will meet once again on September 10 in the Super Four stage should India win their final group game against Nepal on September 4.
