India vs Pakistan Highlights: Match called off due to rain, teams to share points
Rain played spoilsport in what was shaping up to be a cracker of a game in Pallekele. Before the teams had to share points due to rain, Ishan Kishan (82) and Hardik Pandya (87) starred for India taking them to a respectable 266 after a top order collapse.
For Pakistan, the much hyped-pace trio of Shaheen Shah Afridi, Naseem Shah and Haris Rauf lived up to the expectations triggering collapses on either side of the Kishan-Pandya stand and becoming the first pace unit to take all 10 wickets in an Asia Cup (ODI) game.
The two teams will most probably meet again further in the tournament. Thank you for following DH as we brought you the latest updates from the game. See you again.
Ishan Kishan and Hardik Pandya starred for India even as Pakistani pacers ripped through the Indian top and lower order.
