It'll probably rain tmr and get called off as well, same as Tuesday, doubt this Asia cup is concluding.
Utterly shameless from the BCCI.
I think it will remain the same time at which match started today.
but what if they have to bowl tomorrow all 50 overs without any rain interruption and then very next day they have to come out again against Srilanka.
It's not. India will keep playing Kohli no matter. His record in ODIs has been boosted recently by bashing SL and BD. Hasn't done anything of note against top sides in this World Cup cycle.
He played most of his cricket against 1-2 oppositions in limited venues. Still an unbelievable achievement but the statistical anomaly is at least partially explained by the fact that todays players play upwards of 6-8 oppositions in 10s of venues. Not an apples to apples.
Being no1 in ICC ranking doesn’t mean you’re perfect or all time great 11, it just means you’ve been best in the lot of imperfect sides for 2-3 years. It’s a lower bar.
i think it would be 1 hour later than todays
This is not going to happened as more rain predicted for tomorrow .by chance match (5% ) complete then India will not play Siraj and bumrah against srilanka as we already have Prasidh Krishna and Shami
In that case if match doesnt happens tommorrow and both teams shares a point each, so match against srilanka will become do or die for India.
Shami and prasidh Krishna both are world class bowler ,you can check stats.
Tbh only Australia and England can challenge India in batting strength. In home conditions you'd imagine India will out score most teams. Kohli can easily catch up in an innings. Rahul I agree shouldn't play.
Right now india only have 1 world class bowler bumrah other are all fake
Thankyou brother.
In that case Pakistan and Srilanka will qualify for the Final.
Srilanka weather is so unpredictable you can say anything for now.Checked numerous websites and hour by hour forecast and its raining throughout the day
No game tomorrow no final for india
It's laughable they decided to have this tournament during monsoon season in Lanka. Could have hosted it in Dubai/ u.a.e.Checked numerous websites and hour by hour forecast and its raining throughout the day
No game tomorrow no final for india
Wouldn't mind seeing BCCI flex it's muscle to get that done. I reckon we can chase about 180 in 20 overs
I'm rooting for a SL-Pak final!What happens in case of a washout on the reserve day?
As the format of the Super 4 goes, all four qualified teams will play against each other once. At present, Pakistan and Sri Lanka occupy the top two spots, with 2 points each. Babar Azam's men (+1.051) are ahead of the Lankans (+0.420) because of a better Net Run Rate.
India, in comparison, haven't yet opened their tally, with the Pakistan match being their first in the Super 4s. Bangladesh are 4th with a points tally of -0.749. They are all but out of the race for the final already.
In a case where the India vs Pakistan match in the Super 4 stage gets washed out, points will be shared between the two teams. Such a scenario would take Pakistan's tally to 3 points which will help them remain top of the points table while India will remain third with 1 point in their kitty.
A washout, hence, could prove dangerous for the Indian team if they fail to win at least one of their next two matches. With Sri Lanka already securing one win, they remain ahead of India in the points table.
Though India are to play two more matches -- against Sri Lanka and Bangladesh -- in the Super 4s, there's no guarantee that those matches won't see washouts. Hence, rain-marred contests, including the match against Pakistan, aren't very beneficial for the Indian team.

Catching up is the kind of cricket that is simply not acceptable in this day and age. Kohli starts off too slowly especially against spin and it's a problem particularly in T20's But even in ODI's he should be taking them game on aggressively against spin especially coming in at 3.
No, the true cricket lovers do understand. However, IPL has managed to provide adequate soap operasque drama for the working males ( mostly). Hence, BCCI survives.
Raining
very early for that
Like India care about not qualifying for the final
I'll have what you're having....
I’m having a sense of reality and honesty in my coffee
What you been watching? Pakistan murked India in the first game india couldn't even stand full 50 overs?
Yes I have been watching
We expect that india will 300+ runs in every game and so 266 is below par score. but why do we think india can defend 266, is it our batting our indian bowling. 266 is a decent score I think. India didnt school us in this game either, they would have been two down in first ten overs.India all out for barely 266 in the first game and most analysts felt Pakistan had the upper hand...bt yes, India bossed that by losing all their wickets
And then the second game was just getting started. India certainly had a very good start but lost 2 very quick wickets and everything was to play for...but India bossing again
Yes, all of us are reading it wrong. India was bowled out in the first game before their 50 overs but they had an upper hand.
Assuming we cant chase .... 266.
You know we cant till we know we have got the points
The first match Pakistan was ahead when the rain came down and most Pakistani fans were praying for the rain to end. 260 would be difficult to defend for India even against Srilanka. Tournament cricket is all about winning the tournaments whoever wins the final regardless of playing each other etc will have the last laugh.
Maybe Pakistan cricket yes. for Srilanka got to host the tournament for nothing.
Nobody had an upper hand. Chases at Pallekele are not always the easiest. Look at all the won chases involving scores above 250 in the first innings. They either have involved teams like Afghanistan , Zimbabwe , Bangladesh or they were rain-shortened chases etc. Last year, Australia won by being ahead of D/L by reaching 282/8 while chasing 301 and they won. But a full match would have been tight because SL was just as likely to dismiss the tailenders before OZ got there. And that match and some extraordinary hitting by Maxwell to even get there.
Let's not forget india allowed Nepal to score 230 on this 243 average pallekelle groundBoth the games Pakistan got saved due to rain.
Pallekelle's avg 1st innings score is 243...so Pakistan chasing 266 under lights looks unlikely. Also don't forget, India's momentum in that game got disrupted due to rain. Before the rain break our openers were looking good and had those interruptions didn't happen, India would have posted much higher total.
In this game, India was heading towards 330 odd runs. And it meant pretty much game over for opposition.
So @Rana is not incorrect with his assessments.

First game Pakistan was ahead definitely and second game what makes you think 330 means game over these days? You can think what you want 260 was very get able on that wicket and 300 is par on this wicket.Both the games Pakistan got saved due to rain.
Pallekelle's avg 1st innings score is 243...so Pakistan chasing 266 under lights looks unlikely. Also don't forget, India's momentum in that game got disrupted due to rain.

International cricket won't survive without Pakistan.
Doesnt matter ... in the end it is 1 point each and it will be fun to see how rest of the tournament goes. lets settle this in final.
