The India-Pakistan match (September 2) was abandoned after an intense first innings, resulting in both teams sharing points.
After the highly anticipated India-Pakistan clash of the Asia Cup 2023 ended in disappointment, Team India fans are eagerly seeking answers on how their beloved Men in Blue can qualify for the Super 4 stage. The current scenario dictates that Rohit Sharma and his team simply need to avoid a loss on Monday (September 4th) in order to join Pakistan in the Super 4.
The India-Pakistan match was abandoned after an intense first innings, resulting in both teams sharing points. While Babar Azam and his team have already secured their spot in the Super 4 with 3 points, the Men in Blue have only managed to accumulate 1 point so far. Therefore, if the India-Nepal game is also washed out, India will advance due to their 2 points, while Nepal will be left with only 1. Alternatively, if India manages to secure a resounding victory, they could potentially surpass Group A leaders Nepal, who suffered a crushing 238-run defeat at the hands of Pakistan in the Asia Cup 2023 opener.
Meanwhile, following the inconclusive outcome of the first India-Pakistan clash, fans are eagerly anticipating the next encounter between the two teams. If India manages to defeat Nepal on Monday (September 4th), the Men in Blue will likely face off against Pakistan once again on the 10th.
India and Pakistan will meet again on September 10 in Colombo, provided India defeat Nepal in their next match. I hope the rain stays away now #AsiaCup2023 #AsiaCup

Fast bowler Haris Rauf faced severe criticism for his aggressive send-off to Ishan Kishan, with fans expressing their disapproval of Virat Kohli’s decision to embrace Rauf before the match.
Although India’s top-order batsmen struggled, there were encouraging signs as Ishan Kishan and Hardik Pandya played crucial innings to rescue the team from a precarious position at 66-4. However, the top four batsmen must regroup after being unsettled by Shaheen Shah Afridi, who recorded impressive figures of 10-2-35-4.
