Commentary

4:39 PM IST Right then, that's all we have from this game. The annoying rain dampened our spirits here but the action in the 2023 Asia Cup continues on September 3rd, when the two teams from Group B, Bangladesh and Afghanistan, face off at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore. The first ball will be bowled at 3.00 pm IST (9.30 am GMT), but our build-up will begin much sooner. See you then, cheers!
4:31 PM IST Earlier in the game, after Rohit Sharma called it right and opted to put runs on the board, Pakistan pacers utilised their overcast conditions to their advantage, and India found themselves struggling at 66-4. Ishan Kishan and Hardik Pandya then got together and forged a solid recovery with a 138-run stand. Ishan's 82 and Hardik's 87 bailed India out of trouble, putting the pressure back on Pakistan. They were also helped by the bizarre tactic of Babar Azam not bringing the pacers on in the middle overs. However, just as India were setting themselves up for a strong finish, they were pegged back in quick succession by Pakistan's pace trio. The departure of Pandya triggered a collapse, as India lost their last five wickets for just 27 runs. For Pakistan, their pacers took all 10 wickets, a feat achieved by any team in the Men's Asia Cup for the very first time. India's arch-nemesis Shaheen Afridi was the standout bowler with a four-wicket haul. Naseem Shah was unlucky not to get a wicket in his first spell but eventually ended up with three, while Haris Rauf accounted for three wickets as well.
4:26 PM IST Alas! The rain has had the final say in this high-octane clash between Pakistan and India. The forecast was always for rain, but we hoped that we could squeeze in at least 20 overs in the second innings, but it wasn't to be. Both teams take a point each from this game and thanks to their win over Nepal in the opening game, Pakistan have qualified for the Super Four. As far as India are concerned, they are off the mark in the Asia Cup but will have to beat Nepal in their next game to make it to the next stage.
4:22 PM IST UPDATE - 9.52 pm IST (4.22 pm GMT) - THE MATCH HAS BEEN CALLED OFF! The umpires were out in the middle and having a chat. The drizzle seemed really light and they had folded their umbrellas as well. However, they walk up the stairs and inform both the captains that there will be no more play. Handshakes all around as this block-buster tie comes to a disappointing end.
4:04 PM IST UPDATE - 9.34 pm IST (4.04 pm GMT) - It is still raining steadily and things are looking glum at the moment with all the covers firmly in place. The players are still in the dressing room and we are reaching the abandoned game territory. The latest time for the game to resume in order to have a 20-over-per-side game is 10.27 pm IST (4.57 pm GMT) so just less than an hour for us to hope for the rain gods to relent. We have our fingers crossed as this would be quite an anti-climax to such a highly-anticipated encounter. Stay tuned...
3:33 PM IST UPDATE - 9.03 pm IST (3.33 pm GMT) - Live pictures show the Indian players striding out to the centre for warm-up drills. The two umpires have completed their inspection and they now walk up the stairs to inform their decision of the inspection to the two captains, Rohit Sharma and Babar Azam. Just as we say, it has started to drizzle again and the covers are back on. This is proving to be quite frustrating for the players and the spectators as the wait continues once again. We will bring you more updates shortly.
3:07 PM IST UPDATE - 8.37 pm IST (3.07 pm GMT) - Good news! The rain seems to have relented and the ground staff have made their way out to the middle to begin the process of removing the covers. The match officials are also out there, having a chat with the ground staff. We will certainly lose some overs and for those eager for the revised targets, it will be 254 in 45 overs, 239 in 40 overs, 203 in 30 overs and 155 in 20 overs. There are more promising signs though as the umpires have scheduled an inspection for 9.00 pm IST (3.30 pm GMT). We will keep you posted regarding the result of the inspection.
2:46 PM IST UPDATE - 8.16 pm IST (2.46 pm GMT) - Sigh! Pakistan's chase should have gotten underway by now but it is still drizzling. Live visuals show that the entire ground has been covered, probably for the first time in the day. Let's keep our fingers crossed and hope that the rain subsides soon for us to witness the battle between the Indian seamers and the Pakistan batters. We will start losing overs in about five minutes at 8.21 pm IST (2.51 pm GMT). Stay tuned for further updates.
2:26 PM IST Right then, the game is evenly poised at the halfway mark. India would have liked a few runs more but at one stage in their innings, 266 looked unlikely. They have the resources to defend this total. On the other hand, Pakistan did allow India to recover through some ordinary bowling and fielding but did well to pull things back. Do the Pakistan batters have in them to get over the line here? We shall find out when we return in a bit for the chase.
2:24 PM IST Pakistan's man of the moment, Shaheen Afridi, is in for a chat. He says that it was their plan to strike with the new ball. Mentions that the wickets of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli were crucial. Adds that every batter is crucial for him. Shares that he liked Rohit's wicket more. Reckons that the plan by the pacers worked. Feels that the new ball will swing, but once the ball stops swinging, it will be easier to bat.
2:24 PM IST Pakistan got off to a flying start after the rain had interrupted play. Shaheen Afridi came in and took the quick wickets of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, dismissing two of India's most important batters. Haris Rauf cleaned up Shubman Gill and Shreyas Iyer. They faltered in the middle stages of the innings due to a steady partnership between Ishan Kishan and Hardik Pandya. Rauf struck again dismissing Ishan and breaking the dangerous partnership. Shaheen Afridi bowled brilliantly in the death taking the wickets of Hardik and Ravindra Jadeja. Naseem Shah was very economical today and he ended up with three wickets. Shaheen Afridi was the pick of the bowlers with a spell of 4-35.
2:21 PM IST India’s chances of getting to a good score looked bleak at the start of their innings as Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, and Shubman Gill departed pretty early on in the innings. The heroics of Ishan Kishan and Hardik Pandya stabilized the innings with their partnership of 138 runs. They batted brilliantly and did not take any risks which gave hope to the Indian fans. Ishan departed after scoring 82. Hardik and Ravindra Jadeja who came in next also put up a steady stand with the former being the aggressor. After Hardik’s wicket, some bonus runs from Kuldeep Yadav and Jasprit Bumrah who helped push India to a score of 266.
2:18 PM IST India have been bowled out here! The Pakistan fast bowlers have proved their worth in this game and dismantled a strong batting line-up. There was a bit of stoppage due to rain but it cleared off soon and allowed a whole 50 overs to be bowled. India's middle order made sure that they went past the 250 mark. The target for Pakistan is 267. It has started to rain but let's hope it clears up soon and we can have a prompt start to the second innings.

Naseem Shah to Jasprit Bumrah, no run

OUT! CAUGHT! Naseem Shah gets his third of the game and Jasprit Bumrah's short cameo comes to an end! This has been a wonderful bowling performance by the Pakistani fast bowlers as they have managed to claim all 10 wickets in this inning. This is bowled on a good length and outside the off stump. Jasprit Bumrah looks to go over the leg side boundary but does not connect the ball as cleanly as he would have liked. Agha Salman at deep square leg settles under the ball and takes a catch comfortably to end the Indian effort. The Men in Blue have managed to post 266 runs on the board and wasted 7 balls in their inning.

In the 14 overs bowled by the slower bowlers, India have scored 74 runs without losing a single wicket. They have no set a good platform to accelerate towards the end with some big hitters still in their ranks. Pakistan will be hoping for some quick wickets to shift the momentum back in their favour.

10:16 AM IST UPDATE - 3:46 pm IST (10:16 am GMT) - Some good news! The rain seems to have subsided and the ground staff are in the process of peeling off the covers. The covers have been completely removed and Rohit Sharma with the helmet on, is seen shadow batting near the ropes. Shubman Gill joins him now near the dugout and we should not be far away from resumption.
9:53 AM IST UPDATE - 3:23 pm IST (9:53 am GMT) - Uh oh! The rain has gotten heavier and the umpires have taken the players off. The ground staff come charging in with the covers and in no time, they cover the entire square. Let's hope this is just a passing shower and we can resume the action soon. Just as we type, the rain seems to have eased up and it has gone brighter as well. Stay tuned for further updates.

9:16 AM IST PITCH REPORT - Sanjay Manjrekar was by the pitch before the toss to shed some light on the pitch. He mentions that it is a high-quality surface and unique in its own way. Mentions that the fast bowlers can get some seam and the spinners will get some turn but a good batter who can apply himself will be able to get a century as well. Ends by saying that With DLS coming into the picture, the captain winning the toss may prefer to bowl first. Ravi Shastri does a live pitch report after the toss and mentions that there is a little more grass as compared to the last game that was played at this venue. He reckons that the surface looks a bit slow and the bounce could be on the lower side. Claims that the average score in this ground has been 290 but in the last match, 230 would have been a winning total. Ends by saying that it is a good decision to bat first and look to get an excess of 260-270 which will put pressure on the opponents.
9:09 AM IST Pakistan's captain Babar Azam says that they would have batted first as well. Mentions that they will now try to utilise the overcast conditions with the ball. Shares that they know the conditions here, having played a lot of cricket in Sri Lanka in recent times. Reckons that Asia Cup is a good preparation for the upcoming ODI World Cup. Informs that they are going with an unchanged side. On his performance in the last game, he says that such a performance gives you confidence and hopes to replicate the same in this game.

8:50 AM IST UPDATE - 2.20 pm IST (8.50 am GMT) - The rain is playing hide-and-seek with us and it looks like the ground staff have decided to get the covers off which could indicate that they do not expect heavy rain any time soon. All the covers have been removed and the Pakistan players are on the playing field getting some last-minute guidance from their coach Mickey Arthur. Things look positive and we may have the toss on schedule. Stay tuned as we have our fingers crossed.
8:45 AM IST UPDATE - 2.15 pm IST (8.45 am GMT) - We have some unfortunate news to bring you folks! The drizzle was light and the ground staff was looking at getting the covers off to start the cleaning-up process. Sadly, the drizzle has gotten much heavier and the covers remain firmly in place. Stay tuned as we bring you more updates.
8:40 AM IST India will be going into this game vary of the threat that their opposition possesses and will need to be at their best right from the start. They rested some of their big names in their recent series and they still have not been able to settle on a solid playing XI with the World Cup right around the corner. They have some big names in their batting line-up but while some have cemented their spots in the side, there are still a few spots up for grabs. Jasprit Bumrah's inclusion back into the side has instantly boosted their pace bowling department and Kuldeep Yadav looks to be the first-choice spinner for India going into the future. Will India manage to find stability and beat one of the most settled sides of the globe? Or will Pakistan continue their winning run and show why they are the best ODI side in the world? We will find out soon. Stay tuned as we bring you the toss and team updates.
8:35 AM IST Pakistan have already announced their playing XI and it shows that they are brimming with confidence having whitewashed Afghanistan in the recent series and demolishing a relatively under-baked Nepal side in their opening game. Babar Azam continues to lead from the front, accumulating runs not only in ODIs but across all formats of international cricket as he keeps showing his calibre to the world. The good form of the middle and lower order allows them further stability which helps the top order to take their time and build the innings. The strength lies in their bowling department as they possess some world-class fast bowlers and each of them has a unique style which makes it a nightmare for opposition batters. Shadab Khan continues to be their primary spin-bowling option and he continues to justify the faith shown in him by performing with both the ball and the bat.
8:30 AM IST Hello, and a warm welcome, ladies and gentlemen to our coverage of the much-anticipated clash between arch-rivals Pakistan and India in the 2023 Asia Cup as we see two of the favourites lock horns to gain early supremacy. We are still at the nascent stages of this competition as we arrive at match number 3 but the result in this fixture will give us a solid understanding of how Group A plays out. Pakistan have already played their first game registering a comprehensive win against first-timers Nepal but India are yet to kick off their campaign and will want to do it in style against the number one side in the world. There is a threat of rain meandering over this game but we still expect there to be some cricket as both teams will be eager to find a result.
8:30 AM IST ... MATCH DAY ...
9:39 PM IST The wait is finally over folks! The much-anticipated clash between arch-rivals Pakistan and India in the 2023 Asia Cup is upon us and what a mouth-watering encounter we expect this one to be! We are at match number 3 in the competition for the second Group A clash as the two teams take on each other at the Pallekele International Cricket Stadium in Sri Lanka. Pakistan won their first game in the group stages as they demolished a hapless Nepal side by 238 runs to get their campaign off to a rollicking start and enter this match brimming with confidence as the number one ODI team in the world. India are yet to get their campaign rolling and face a tough task against a side that has momentum on its side. The last time the two teams faced each other in the 50-over format was back in 2019 during the ICC Cricket World Cup where the Men in Blue sealed a 89-run victory. They clashed several times in the shortest format in the previous year and while India managed to beat them in the group stages of the 2022 Asia Cup and the 2022 ICC Men's T20 World Cup, it was Pakistan who had a better run in the tournaments as they made it to both the finals. With the winner of this tie most likely to top the table, there is a lot at stake, more so with the 2023 ICC Cricket World Cup right around the corner. Pakistan have given Fakhar Zaman a long rope and it seems like it is only a matter of time before their faith in him pays off but his partner Imam-ul-Haq seems to have made the opening slot his own. The bulk of the runs still come from the bat of Babar Azam who scored a scintillating 150 in the last game and Mohammad Rizwan but what has been a massive boost for them is the hitting form of Iftikhar Ahmed and Shadab Khan down the order. Iftikhar secured his maiden ton against Nepal as he was rewarded for his consistent showing over the last few matches. Shaheen Afridi has continued his good form with the new ball claiming crucial wickets in the Powerplay and Naseem Shah looks to have forged a good partnership with the former. Haris Rauf has been the most dangerous of the trio and despite coming to bowl as first change, has provided his side with crucial wickets through the middle overs. The good work done by the pacers seems to make the task much easier for spinners as Shadab Khan and Mohammad Nawaz have done a handy job wrapping up the opposition's tail. Rohit Sharma will need his side to be at their best in this game and it will be interesting to see whether he opts for Shubman Gill or Ishan Kishan as his opening partner. A lot of onus will fall on Virat Kohli and Hardik Pandya to use their experience and stabilize the middle order that still has several positions up for contention. With Ravindra Jadeja given more responsibility with the bat, we could see the likes of Suryakumar Yadav, Shreyas Iyer, Sanju Samson, Tilak Varma, and Axar Patel fight for two middle-order spots. They are boosted by the return of Jasprit Bumrah to the side who showed excellent rhythm in the recently concluded series against Ireland and India could look to go for a three-pronged pace bowling attack with Mohammed Siraj and Mohammad Shami as the other two candidates. Kuldeep Yadav seems to have cemented his spot as India's frontline spinner and a lot will expected from him with the World Cup in mind. The weather forecast looks ominous though with chances of thunderstorms and it will be a massive disappointment if the rain gods decide to play spoilsport in what could be an enthralling clash. That said we have our fingers crossed in anticipation of a blockbuster tie between these two cricketing foes with the level of intensity on the ground and across the two nations expected to be exceptionally high. Will Pakistan continue their winning momentum? Or will India be able to get their title hunt off to a winning start? We will find out soon.
