Pakistan are taking on arch-rivals India in the ongoing Super Four match in the Asia Cup 2023, but some fans and cricketers are disappointed on the fixture not because of rain interruption but for a different reason.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Watch ARY News live on\u00a0live.arynews.tv<\/a><\/span><\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

The crowd turnout for the ongoing fixture has been relatively low compared to the Pakistan-India games in the past. There have been reports of low ticket sales due to inflated prices.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Former all-rounder Mohammad Hafeez lamented about empty stands during the ongoing fixture. The 42-year-old said he never saw such scenes in a Pakistan-India match.<\/span><\/p>\n

It is pertinent to mention that pictures of empty stands during the fixture went viral on social media.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Perhaps, for the first time an #INDvsPAK<\/a> game with so many stands empty? Maybe the threat of rain was the reason which kept fans away? #AsiaCup<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/EcFKHSo1wF<\/a><\/p>\n

Jay Shah and his masters deliberately trying to destroy the #AsiaCup2023<\/a> bz it is hosted by Pakistan. But in middle of all this they have destroyed the single most important game of cricket #IndiavsPak<\/a>

The Super Four fixture was brought to a halt during the 25th over of the Indian innings due to rain. It is to be noted that thunderstorms are expected to interrupt the encounter frequently.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Pakistan-India game is the only Super Four encounter to have a reserve day. If rain stops play today, the match will continue from where it left off on the following day.<\/span><\/p>\n
