Asia Cup 2023, India vs Pakistan LIVE SCORE: India 66/3 after 14 overs, time for drinks

 

India seem to be recovering now with two young guns trying to build the pathway to recovery. They have added 18 off 26 balls

Asia Cup 2023, India vs Pakistan LIVE SCORE: India 63/3 after 13 overs

 

Edged to third-man on the first ball here by Shubman Gill

 

Oh!! That would have been the fourth wicket if there were two slips, instead, it would be a four to Ishan Kisha, This was pitched on the middle and leg and got the edge of Kishan’s bat who was looking to guide it fine.

Asia Cup 2023, India vs Pakistan LIVE SCORE: India 58/3 after 12 overs

 

Six!! That would be the first six of the Indian innings and it has come on a shirt ball from Haris Rauf. Ishan would always look to attack from ball one

 

Seems like this rain break would come in favour of India. A six to end the 12th over and India are 58/3

Asia Cup 2023, India vs Pakistan LIVE SCORE: The sun is shining finally

 

It is very scenic to look at the bird’s eye view of the Pallekele International Cricket Stadium here in Kandy, Sri Lanka. With mountains on all its sides, and the sun shining bright with a small rainbow here and there and the stadium in the middle of the Pallekele valley, it is like painting in motion.

Asia Cup 2023, India vs Pakistan LIVE SCORE: Play stopped due to rain again

 

Once again it is rain that has stopped the play. Last time it came as a rescue to Pakistan as they got three quick wickets. Maybe this time around, it will come good for India.

Asia Cup 2023, India vs Pakistan LIVE SCORE: India 48/3 after 10 overs

 

Gone!! Just like that, against the runs of play, Haris Rauf has a wicket. It was short, there to be pulled and exactly that’s what Shreyas Iyer did, but the ball went straight into the hands of Fakhar Zaman at mid-wicket, who just raised his hands and cupped it.

Asia Cup 2023, India vs Pakistan LIVE SCORE: India 42/2 after 08 overs

 

Haris Rauf has come into the attack in place of Naseem Shah 

 

Four!! Shreasy Iyer looks in good touch as he has got his first four here 

 

Four!! And on the pads from Rauf and once again an easy four for Iyer

Asia Cup 2023, India vs Pakistan LIVE SCORE: Kohli played down, India 30/1 after 07 overs

 

Wicket!! Well, well..well Afridi has done the unthinkable here, removed Virat Kohli who has been played down. The ball was outside off and the Indian batter played all around it to hit it back on his stumps

 

Shaheen Afridi is pumped up tpo get one more in the over, but he would have to abstain from bowling so many wide deliveries. India are 30/2 after 07 overs. 

 

4:11 PM

Asia Cup 2023, India vs Pakistan LIVE SCORE: India 26/1 after 06 overs

 

Naseem Shaha seems to have got too motivated by Shaheen Afridi’d swing and in an effort to attempt an in-swinger after an out-swinger, he has given away five byes

 

Four!! Class from Kohli as dives a good length ball through the covers for a four, that is just brilliant

Asia Cup 2023, India vs Pakistan LIVE SCORE: Shaheen Afridi knocks Rohit Sharma over

 

The rain delay seems to have worked wonders for the left-arm pacer Shaheen Afridi has found his rhythm back 

 

Wicket!! Just as I type that, Shaheen has bowled that magical delivery to castle Rohit Sharma’s stumps with an in-swinger.
