The highly anticipated India-Pakistan cricket match in Kandy, Sri Lanka, was marred by rain, disappointing cricket fans. The match was disrupted in the fourth over, with India having scored 15 runs.
This was India’s first match in the Asia Cup 2023 tournament, while Pakistan had begun their campaign with a resounding 238-run victory over Nepal. India won the toss and chose to bat first, despite concerns about the weather. Both teams fielded strong squads, making the match one to watch, but the rain had other plans.
India has historically had the upper hand against Pakistan in Asia Cup matches, with seven wins in 13 encounters. Pakistan has won five matches, and one ended in no result. However, India has dominated recent encounters, winning four out of the last five matches against Pakistan in the Asia Cup, with Pakistan’s last victory coming in 2014.
