Kathmandu, Nepal – In a highly-anticipated Asia Cup clash that was disrupted by rain yesterday, India resumed their innings today in a match that has had fans on the edge of their seats. After rain played spoilsport, the game continued on its reserve day with India in a strong position.
Resuming from 147/2
When play resumed today, India was at 147/2 in 24.1 overs, thanks to a promising start from their top-order batsmen. KL Rahul and Virat Kohli had provided the Men in Blue with a solid platform to build upon.
KL Rahul and Virat Kohli Shine
The Indian duo of KL Rahul and Virat Kohli continued to display their class, offering a positive start to the innings. They carefully navigated the tricky conditions and the Pakistani bowling attack to keep the scoreboard ticking.
As of now, India has reached a score of 186/2 off 31 overs. KL Rahul has contributed a valuable 41 runs from 53 deliveries, while Virat Kohli has shown his trademark composure, scoring 22 runs from 33 balls. Their partnership has been instrumental in India’s steady progress.
Haris Rauf Absent Due to Injury
In a blow to Pakistan’s chances, their premier pacer Haris Rauf will not be taking the field today due to an injury. Rauf, known for his fiery pace and wicket-taking ability, has been a key asset for Pakistan in the bowling department. His absence will be keenly felt, especially in the crucial middle overs.
Despite the rain interruption, the match will still be played as a 50-over contest.
