India has set a mammoth target of 357 runs for Pakistan. Indian batters were in full control of the match.

India resumed their innings on Monday after rain called off the match on Sunday. Indian batters were in complete control against Pakistan in the blockbuster contest, with KL Rahul and former skipper Virat Kohli making centuries

The high-voltage contest between Pakistan and India finally resumed on the reserve day, Monday, but with a blow for the co-hosts of the tournament as Haris Rauf has been ruled out of the match due to injury.

“Fast bowler Haris Rauf will not be bowling any further in the Asia Cup Super 4 match against India as a precautionary measure,” the Pakistan Cricket Board said in a statement.

Heavy rain in Colombo on Monday afternoon threatened to wash out the reserve day of the blockbuster Super Four clash at the Asia Cup between India and Pakistan.

“He felt a little discomfort in his right flank during the match yesterday and was subsequently taken for a precautionary MRI, which revealed no tear,” said the PCB.

The right-arm fast bowler, who has been a crucial part of Pakistan’s pace batter, remained under the observation of the team’s medical panel.

India resumed the innings from where it was abandoned, with Virat Kohli facing Shadab Khan.

Only 24.1 overs were possible on Sunday when the arch-rivals met for the second time in the 50-over tournament, a precursor to the upcoming ODI World Cup.

India are scheduled to resume their innings on 147-2 at 3:00 pm (0930 GMT) at Sri Lanka’s R. Premadasa Stadium, but the chances of a timely start look unlikely with unrelenting rain keeping the ground fully covered.

The extra day was a last-minute addition to the Super Four clash - the only game to get the advantage other than the final - after a previous group meeting between the two teams was washed out due to rain in Pallekele.

Virat Kohli, on eight, and KL Rahul, on 17, were batting when rain forced the players off on Sunday.

The teams will share the points if there is a washout.

India are scheduled to play Sri Lanka on Tuesday at the same venue.
