Tap refresh to see updates<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n At the end of ten overs, the Rohit Sharma-Shubman Gill duo are paddling the ball all over the R. Premadasa Stadium. The precision of Pakistani pacers Naseem Shah and Faheem Ashraf appears to be ineffective as no amount of turn can make up for a fielder\u2019s grip.<\/p>\n Gill completes a half-century against what was Shadab Khan\u2019s first over of the innings. After an immaculate performance by the youngster, in which he scored 10 fours. Shadab in the same over, was dispatched for two sixes and a boundary on the last delivery bringing the total for the over to 19 runs. Runs are flowing for the Indian side. India are now 96 for the loss of no wicket.<\/p>\n Express pacer Haris Rauf has been brought into the attack by the skipper. Rohit tried to hook Haris on his last delivery, however, he edged it over the boundary behind the keeper. Eight runs off of the first Haris Rauf over bring the Indian total to 77 for the loss of no wickets.<\/p>\n Indian batters are now rotating the strike normally. Four singles and a boundary from Shubman Gill down fine leg brings up India\u2019s 13th boundary. India are now 69 for the loss of no wickets.<\/p>\n A poster on X:<\/p>\n \u201cFollow the plan! Plan: Gill ka catch choro \u2026. 3 chokay khao \u2026. Repeat!\u201d<\/p>\n Shaheen is back in the field.<\/p>\n Rohit started the attack against Naseem, dispatching him for four on consecutive deliveries over the mid-on region. A flick and a pull ends Naseem\u2019s fifth for eight runs. India are now 61 for no loss at the end of the powerplay.<\/p>\n Shubman Gill took the charge to Faheem in the ninth over beating cover and point fielder for a boundary. A double off the second-last delivery ends the over for six runs. India are now 53 for no loss.<\/p>\n Two boundaries off Naseem\u2019s over bring the Indian total to 47 for no loss. Shubman rolled his wrists over to dispatch Naseem for a boundary over the point area. An edge of Shubman\u2019s bat flew past first and second slip, unlucky Naseem.<\/p>\n Shaheen walked off the field. The effort of Naseem\u2019s first ball in the inning has seemingly done some damage to the pacer\u2019s left fingers. Faheem replaces Shaheen in the seventh over with a single from it. Good over from Faheem, India are now 37 for no loss.<\/p>\n A maiden from Naseem to end the sixth over for Pakistan. The young pacer is holding his line and moving the ball both ways trying to cause trouble for the Indian batters. Rohit, biding his time, does not get bat to the ball in the over. India are now 37 for the loss of no wicket.<\/p>\n Gill advanced on the pitch on the second ball of Shaheen\u2019s third and dispatched him over long-on for a boundary. Afridi decided to come around the wicket to the Indian batter and dispatched for two consecutive fours over the cover region. Indian batters are really breaking free against Shaheen. India are now 37 for the loss of no wickets.<\/p>\n Wide from Naseem off the fifth ball gives a single from the fourth over. Babar reviewed a not-out decision from Naseem\u2019s fifth ball after the ball clearly missed the edge of Rohit Sharma. The TV umpire agreed with the onfield umpire. India are now 24 for the loss of no wickets.<\/p>\n Shaheen was dispatched for back-to-back boundaries of the first two balls by Shubman Gill. A thick inside edge of an attempted flick over the mid-on region gave Gill his second boundary of the game. He went after the southpaw again on the fifth ball, driving the pacer towards the straight boundary. The Indian score is now at 23 after 12 from the third over.<\/p>\n The ball flew over to third man of Shubman Gill\u2019s edge of the bat falling just short of Shaheen. A tremendous stroke over the covers by Rohit ends the over for five runs. India are at 11 for the loss of no wicket at the end of two overs.<\/p>\n Five dots and a six on the last ball ruin a perfect first over. Shaheen Shah Afridi is bowling full and straight first up. Rohit is visibly wary of the Pakistani pacer. India are at six for the loss of no wickets at the end of the first over.<\/p>\n A hazy sun shone as captain Babar Azam and Indian skipper Rohit Sharma stood for the toss on the pitch as commentator Ravi Shastri looked on.<\/p>\n After captain Babar Azam announced his plan to bowl first, Indian skipper Rohit Sharma said they would have batted anyway.<\/p>\n Earlier, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) posted a photo of clear skies at the R. Premadasa International Cricket Stadium on its X (formerly Twitter) account.<\/p>\n The Asian Cricket Council (ACC) also put up a photo exclaiming: \u201cThe skies are clear as we all gear up for an exciting contest!\u201d<\/p>\n However, there could be rain interruptions at the beginning of play and in the second half, according to The Weather Channel\u2019s<\/em> forecast<\/a>. When the match begins at 3pm local time (2:30 PST), there is a 90pc likelihood of thunderstorms, which will abate by 4pm (3:30 PST).<\/p>\n Rain had washed out<\/a> their previous encounter last week at the Pallakele Stadium, bringing an anti-climatic end to the match that left the Green Shirts waiting for their chance at the bat after dominating India with their aggressive bowling lineup.<\/p>\n India was bowled out for 266 in the 49th over against Pakistan and had set a target of 267. Both the teams had shared points for that match.<\/p>\n A reserve day has been introduced<\/a> for the Asia Cup Super Four contest between Pakistan and India amid the possibility of rains interrupting the match. Multiple weather forecasts had predicted a high probability of rain on Sunday, particularly during match hours.<\/p>\n ESPNcricinfo<\/em> had also reported<\/a> that it is the only match apart from the final to have a reserve day. According to a statement issued by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), a \u201creserve day has been incorporated\u201d for the high-voltage tie.<\/p>\n Babar Azam (captain), Shadab Khan (vice-captain), Fakhar Zaman, Imam ul Haq, Salman Ali Agha, Iftikhar Ahmed, Mohammad Rizwan (wicketkeeper), Faheem Ashraf, Naseem Shah, Shaheen Shah Afridi and Haris Rauf.<\/p>\n RG Sharma (captain), Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Ishan Kishan\u2020, KL Rahul, HH Pandya, RA Jadeja, SN Thakur, Kuldeep Yadav, JJ Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" India are 96 for no loss at the end of the 13th over against Pakistan in the Super Fours match of the Asia Cup 2023 in Colombo, Sri Lanka on Sunday.
