The high-octane Asia Cup 2023 face-off between India and Pakistan witnessed a cracking battle between bat and ball, with the arch-rivals competing with each other in full throttle. Pakistan had a dream start to the game, as Shaheen Afridi dismantled the Indian top order with a spectacular opening spell. 

However, valiant eighties from Hardik Pandya and Ishan Kishan ensured India's tremendous fightback, powering them to a fighting 266-run total. At the halfway mark, the game promised to end in an absolute nail-biter before rain intervened for the third time to disrupt the proceedings. 

If the game is reduced, Pakistan will be a given a revised target to chase as mentioned below. 

Pakistan's target

• 226 runs in 36 overs

Notably, the game was halted for a few time after just four overs of the Indian innings as a passing shower arrived at the Pallekele international stadium. After Shaheen Afridi and Haris Rauf rattled the Indian top order, the drizzle interrupted the match once again for a few more minutes. 

However, the delay is expected to be longer this time, with a persistent downpour likely to result in a shortened affair between the Asian giants. As of writing, the entire ground is under the covers as it's raining quite heavily in Pallekele. Considering its magnitude, we reckon Pakistan's innings might get a delayed start, with the Duckworth-Lewis method likely to decide the revised target for Pakistan.
