“Rain Forces Abandonment of Indo-Pak Clash, to Resume on Reserve Day”
The relentless rain persisted, leading to the unfortunate abandonment of the match for the day. Nevertheless, a reserve day had been wisely allocated for this pivotal encounter, and it will recommence on Monday from the point where it was interrupted. At the time the heavens opened up, India had posted a score of 147/2 in 24.1 overs.
Criticism began to swirl around the decision to host these critical matches in Colombo, a location plagued by an extended spell of rain predicted for the next ten days. This decision, which fell under the purview of Jay Shah, the President of the Asian Cricket Council (ACC), sparked substantial backlash on social media platforms. Fans vented their frustration, directing their discontent towards Shah’s influence in the matter.
It is worth noting that if the remaining matches of the tournament are washed out, including Pakistan vs. India, then Pakistan and Sri Lanka would advance to the final, each receiving four points. In contrast, India would secure the third spot in the Super 4 points table, scoring three points, while Bangladesh would only manage to gain one point, having faced defeat in both of their Super 4 matches.
