Asia Cup 2023, India vs Nepal LIVE SCORE: What is the cut-off time for a game?

 

20:56 pm IST:

Though the cut-off time has yet not been decided, looking at the India-Pakistan game, the cut-off time for the 20-over game was set at 10:30 pm IST. 20 overs is the minimum amount that must be bowled to get a result in an ODI game. 

 

Currently, it's almost 09:00 pm IST and two overs have already been bowled. With rain pouring down heavily, it would require groundsmen to at least 30 minutes to ready the ground after such heavy rains. So keeping that in mind, the game would not be restarting before 09:30 pm IST.
