India Vs Pakistan shifts to reserve day, rain spoils the party.

In the highly anticipated India vs Pakistan encounter, rain once again played the role of the spoiler, leading to the suspension of play. The action is set to resume on Monday, the designated reserve day, with both teams set to engage in a 50-over contest.

Before the rain interruption, Shubman Gill showcased his prowess by achieving his second consecutive ODI half-century, along with Rohit Sharma, who effectively neutralized the formidable Pakistan pace attack. This batting partnership flourished during the initial 20 overs of the match after Pakistan’s Babar Azam won the toss and opted to bowl first. Within just 14 overs, their opening partnership crossed the 100-run mark, a testament to their excellent form.

Gill reached his fifty in just 37 balls, while Rohit followed suit shortly thereafter with a powerful six, completing his milestone in 42 deliveries. Pakistan, however, made a strong comeback with Shadab and Afridi dismissing Rohit and Gill successively in back-to-back overs.

This turn of events brought Virat Kohli and KL Rahul to the crease, with Rahul taking the place of the injured Shreyas Iyer at No. 4. The partnership between these two players had reached 24 runs off 38 balls for the third wicket when heavy rain suddenly made its appearance, forcing the players to leave the field. At that point, India’s score stood at 147/2 in 24.1 overs.

The rain delay adds an element of suspense to the India vs Pakistan clash, as cricket fans eagerly await the resumption of this high-stakes match on the reserve day, hoping for more thrilling action on the field.
