Pakistan vs India (Match 3, Super four) – Highlights

India was in a tight spot during the group round. The game appeared to have been called off owing to rain, which was fortunate for them. In the Super Four episode, it was exactly the reverse. The Pakistani fans might not have wanted the game to be played in the rain even if it was on a reserve day.

In such a game, Pakistan’s chances of winning were all but gone as soon as India’s innings came to a conclusion. When the batters began to struggle after that, rain became Pakistan’s last resort. But despite the rain, not a single over was reduced for Pakistan.

Pakistan was bowled out for 128 runs in 32 overs while attempting to chase down the enormous 357-run mark set by India at the Premadasa Stadium in Colombo. As a result, India trounced their bitter rivals by a resounding 228-run margin.

In the run pursuit, Pakistan was surrounded from the beginning. Babar Azam scored 10 runs and went back to the dressing room, while Imam-ul-Haq scored 9. After Pakistan scored 44 for two wickets, it began to rain.

The game resumed after nearly one hour of interruption. Immediately following the start of the game following the rain, Mohammad Rizwan (2) also left. In the 12th over, Pakistan managed only 47 runs after losing 3 wickets.

Fakhar Zaman was playing the Test. not yet saved from Indian bowlers. With 27 runs off 50 balls, Kuldeep Yadav made the Pakistani opener his victim. Kuldeep thereafter descended into terribleness.

Agha Salman (23), Iftikhar Ahmed (23), and Shadab Khan are left-arm spinners. Pakistan was reduced to 128 runs in 32 overs after losing 7 wickets for 119 runs.

The left-arm spinner then sent Iftikhar Ahmed (23), Agha Salman (23), and Shadab Khan (6) back to the changing room. After that, Pakistan was reduced to 128 runs in 32 overs after losing 7 wickets for 119 runs.

Kuldeep Yadav, the Indian spinner, grabbed 5 wickets by himself, costing only 25 runs.
