Shifting our focus a little towards the most-awaited India vs Pakistan clash, the washed-out conditions have put India in a precarious position.

It is important to note, that there won't be a fresh toss on the reserve day, and the rain-interrupted Asia Cup match between India and Pakistan will resume on Monday, with India having scored 147-2 from 24.1 overs.
