India vs Pakistan Score Live, Asia Cup 2023 Super 4: Hundreds From Virat Kohli, KL Rahul and a five-wicket haul from Kuldeep Yadav were the highlights as India registered a win by 228 runs.
That's it from our coverage of this game. A match that lasted two days. But no off days in Asia Cup as India take on Sri Lanka in the next Super Four match in Colombo tomorrow. We will be back with the coverage of that match. Until then good night and take care.
Haris Rauf and Naseem Shah won't bat and India complete a 228-run win. Five-wicket haul for Kuldeep Yadav.
After the wicket of Fakhar Zaman, Kuldeep has dismissed Agha Salman, Shadab Khan and Iftikhar Ahmed. PAK- 119/7 after 29.3 overs.
Four wickets now for Kuldeep Yadav. What a match he has had.
Iftikhar Ahmed the new batter for Pakistan.
Bowled him. Kuldeep Yadav gets a wicket and it is Fakhar Zaman who has to walk back for 27 off 50 balls. The left-arm leg-spinner has got that wicket with a straighter one. PAK- 77/4 in 19.2 Overs.
Spin for the first time in this innings. Kuldeep Yadav into the attack.
After 17 overs, Paksitan- 69/3
Still some help for the Indian pacers even into the 17th over.
Agha Salman the new man in for Pakistan
WICKET! Shardul Thakur strikes in his first over and this time it's Rizwan who has to walk back. Edged and to the keeper. PAK- 47/3 in 11.4 overs.
Match will re-start at 09:20 pm. No overs have yet been reduced. So good news for fans.
The latest news from the venue is that rain has stopped and covers are being removed.
Pakistan's target will need 200 if it is a curtailed 20-over chase. They will need 237 to win in chase it's a 25-over game. 267 will be needed by the Men in Green in case of a 30-over chase.
Match interrupted due to rain after 11 overs in the chase. Need minimum of 20 overs for a result, remember. PAK- 44/2 after 11 overs and we will have another rain-break.
WICKET!!! Hardik Pandya gets the big fish out in his first over. Babar Azam departs for 10. The ball came in sharply there and Babar was left clueless. PAK- 43/2 in 10.4 overs.
So a five-over burst each from Bumrah and Siraj to begin with from India and Pakistan haven't really got going. END Of 10, PAK- 43/1.
Babar Azam come out to the middle.
WICKET! Bumrah strikes. He has bowled a great delivery and Imam managed an outside edge which is caught at the slips. Pakistan 17/1 after 4.2 overs.
No runs off the bat from that over just five wides with that attempted in swinger to the left-hander from Bumrah. PAK- 5/0 after 1st over. Mohammed Siraj from the other end.
Right, so we are back after the break. Jasprit Bumrah playing his first ODI in a year. He is against Imam ul Haq and Fakhar Zaman.
SIX to finish off the innings and it's Kohli who finishes off in style. India- 356/2 after 50 overs. Virat Kohli- 122* off 94 balls, KL Rahul- 111* off 106. What a performance this from India. We will be back with the Pakistan chase in just a bit.
350 comes up for India, still one ball to go.
Faheem Ashraf bowling the final over here. India would look to breach the 350-run mark.
India 338/2 after 49 overs. Naseem Shah also had to leave the field midway through his over there.
Hundred for both the batters. 47th one for Kohli who has also become the fastest batter to complete 13,000 ODI runs.
Hundred for KL Rahul. What a knock this has been from the comeback man. Kohli on 97 too. India 319/2 after 47 overs.
A bondary from the bat of Kohli to follow that six earlier in the over. 150 of the partnership.
SIX what a shot from Kohli. First ball of Iftikhar.
Fifty up for Kohli too and it's just the fouth time in ODIs that each of the top four batters have scored a half-century in an innings. Surely, the team would look to accelerate now.
KL Rahul putting on quite a show here. He has played the spinners particularly well and what a shot for six against Shadab Khan that in the second ball of the 35th over. India marching towards a strong total.
Fifty on comeback for Rahul. What a knock coming back from an injury layoff. Gets to the landmark off 60 balls.
200 up for India in the 33rd over. India- 204/2.
After 32 overs, IND- 193/2. Virat Kohli- 28* off 35, KL Rahul- 43* off 56.
Shaheen Shah Afridi in action for the time on Reserve Day.
Iftikhar Ahmed introduced into the over. Remember, no Haris Rauf for Pakistan for the rest of this match and someone will have to chip in for his 5 remaining overs, if this remains a 50-over contest. Probably, Iftikhar bowling one of these here.
Hasn't been easy these initial few overs but no damage done and Pakistan lose their second referral. Poor review from Pakistan.
After 28 overs, India- 163/2.
So here we go. Match Resumes and Virat Kohli and KL Rahul continue to India. Shadab Khan will finish off his over.
So the news from the centre is that the match is set to start at 04:40 pm (IST). No reduction in the number of overs.
The covers are being taken off but no update on when the match can begin.
Amid rains in Colombo, a media report now suggests that the Asia Cup 2023 final could be shifted to the Pallekele International Cricket Stadium in Kandy. As per the current schedule, the final is slated to be held at the R Premadasa Stadium in September 17.
Here is what a fan who has travelled all the way from India to watch this match, has to say.
Start of play has been delayed due to rain and so the frustrating wait continues for fans at the R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo.
Start of play at 03:00 pm (IST) seems unlikely.
While the covers are still on at the R Premadasa Stadium, the good news is that the groundstaff have started to remove them. The match remains scheduled to begin at 03:00 PM.
Rain is playing hide and seek on this reserve day in Colombo. It was raining earlier this morning but the latest update is that weather has cleared up and match could resume on time.
Good morning everyone. It's the reserve day of the IND vs PAK Asia Cup Super Fours fixture and it's not good news for fans hoping to get a result this time around as it's still raining in the Sri Lankan capital. Here is a detailed weather report.
So that's it from our coverage for today. But we will be back bringing in updates from the venue tomorrow. Until then take care and good night.
BREAKING: Play has been called off. Play will resume at 03:00 pm tomorrow. 50 overs per side.
Bad news for fans. Rain has returned in Colombo and covers are being brought on.
Next inspection at 08:30 pm IST.
Next on-field inspection is at 08:00 pm. So clearly the umpires feel the conditions are not fit enough for play to resume.
Cut off for a 20-over chase for Pakistan is 10:36 pm (IST).
Inspection is done by the umpire and it seems like the umpires will have a word with the captains before a final call will be made.
Inspection at 07:30 pm IST.
We have started to lose overs since 06:22. No update on when the match will resume but every attempt will be made to get the match up and running today.
Rain has stopped in Colombo and covers are being taken off slowly. But no update yet on when the match will resume.
So time to catch some breath. It's been an action packed game so far but rain was expected and it did come. It would be interesting to see if overs are lost and if India's batting resumes or will it be Pakistan's chase in case of a shortened game? If DRS comes into picture, Pakistan will still have an advantage but what a batting performance this has been so far by the Indian batters.
It's raining in Colombo and so the covers are being brought on. So rain stops play. India- 147/2 after 24.1 overs.
A relatively quiet period of play this. India- 146/2 after 24 overs.
One brings two they say and that's what has happened here at the R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo. Wicket for Shadab in the 17th over, Shaheen Afridi gets Gill out in the 18th, deceived by a slower ball from the bowler and hits that straight to Shadab Khan. He is out for 58 off 52. Kohli and KL Rahul out in the middle for India.
Shadab strikes. Rohit looking to go inside out but is caught in the deep. He goes back for 56 off 49. India- 121/1 after 16.4 Overs.
Shadab Khan begins proceedings for Pakistan after drinks.
DRINKS. What a phase of play this. IND: 118/0 after 16 overs.
100 up for India. What a start this by India. Rohit brings up his fifty too. India- 115/0 after 15 overs.
Half-century for Shubman Gill. Gets to the landmark off 37 balls. India- 80/3 in 12.3 overs.
After 9 overs, India- 53/0.
50 comes up for India in the 9th over.
Eventful over that. An outside edge off Gill that flew from the slip cordan to the boundary region. Another outside edge that was past the slips for a single. But no damage done. India- 47/0 after 8 overs.
Naseem Shah to continue.
Just a single off that over from Ashraf. India- 38/0 after 7 overs.
Shaheen Shah Afridi has left the field. He is struggling with a finger injury which he picked up while attempting that Gill catch. He is off the field. Faheem Ashraf replaces him into the attack.
Maiden over From Naseem Shah. Top quality over and Rohit did well to survive there. After 6 overs, India- 37/0
Naseem Shah on the other end has been superb, he has given away 6 runs from his 2 overs.
It's a Gill show all the way. 3 boundaries off that Afridi over. All coming off the bat of Gill. Great start for India and Gill. Affter 5 overs, India are 37/0.
Shaheen Shah Afridi bowling the fifth over but what a shot from Gill off the third ball of this over. Down the track and a great looking aeiral stroke from him. FOUR.
END OF OVERS 4. India- 24/0.
Pakistan lose a DRS early. Pressure getting to them perhaps. Clear gap between bat and ball as Rohit plays and misses.
Naseeem Shah to continue.
Make that 3 boundaries off the over from Gill. Driven down the ground. India- 23/0 after 3 overs.
Two fours off the first two balls of the third over from Shubman Gill. Shaheen would feel the pressure now. Not the best of connections with the bat for the first boundary but beautifully timed, the second one. India up and running in this match in Colombo.
Naseem Shah almost got the wicket of Shubman Gill off his first ball. But it falls short of the man at third man. Rohit with a beautiful lofted cover drive to find the fence off the fifth ball. 5 off the second over. India- 11/0 after 2 overs.
Shaheen Shah Afridi to Rohit Sharma. What a first over. Lots of respect from the batter but as soon as the bowler missed his line, the Hitman with a typical clip over the square leg region for a SIX. IND- 6/0 after 1st over.
Here's what Rohit Sharma said at the Toss: Looking to bat first. There will be a challenge upfront, but the way we guys batted last time around gives us confidence. Every game is important for us, but one thing at a time to focus on. (On rain delays) That's the nature of the sport, it gave us good time to prepare and now we'll look to play well. Two changes - Bumrah is back and one forced change, Shreyas Iyer just got a back spasm so KL Rahul comes in for him.

India playing XI prediction: KL Rahul, returning from injury after almost a year's gap, is available for selection but if the management decides to play Shreyas Iyer, it is highly unlikely that in-form Ishan Kishan -- India's leading run-getter in IND vs PAK group A match -- will be benched to fit in Rahul. Both Rahul and Ishan are wicket-keepers and only one of them will be included in India XI vs PAK.
