On Sunday, September 10, India and Pakistan’s Super-4 round Asia Cup (Asia Cup-2023) match could not be completed. For this, a reserve day, Monday, September 11th, has now been set aside. In the meantime, some supporters are wondering which team will benefit if this game isn’t finished, even on the reserve day. Which team has a chance of winning?
Will the game be finished on the reserve day of the Asia Cup?
At the R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo, India and Pakistan squared off in the Super-4 round of the Asia Cup on September 10. However, due to persistent rain, the game was postponed until the reserve day. Now, the outcome of this game is probably going to be announced on reserve day, or September 11. The match between these two sides will take place at R Premadasa Stadium once more. However, the weather and rain forecast indicate that even on the backup day, there is no chance of finishing the game.
The game will resume where it was left off
Let us inform you that the match will resume from the same location where it was halted due to inclement weather. After choosing to bat first after losing the toss and being led by the powerful opener Rohit Sharma, the Indian team amassed 147 runs for 2 wickets in 24.1 overs. The Indian team will begin playing even on the reserve day with this score. At the time the game was stopped, KL Rahul had scored 17 runs and Virat Kohli had scored 8 runs. On September 11th, both of these batsmen will start their innings.
After that, grades will need to be assigned.
What will happen next if the game cannot be finished even on September 11th, also known as Reserve Day? Fans must be asking themselves this question. The teams from India and Pakistan will have to split the points if the game is not finished, is the answer. Each will receive one point. Pakistan and Sri Lanka currently have 2 points each from a single victory apiece in the points standings. Due to a higher net run rate, Pakistan is in first place. Pakistan will receive 3 points if there is a need to assign points. Sri Lanka has two points, whereas India only has one. Bangladesh and Sri Lanka still need to be played by India on September 12th and Bangladesh on 15th September. In such a situation, Team India will have to win every match, only then its hopes of reaching the final will remain alive.
