According to the weather report of Pallekal, it may rain during the match between India and Pakistan. In such a situation, the fun of the fans waiting for the match between India and Pakistan may be spoiled. Although every effort will be made to complete the match, but if there is obstruction due to rain, then how will the result of the match between the two teams be determined. At least how many overs of play will be required and when will the DLS rule be implemented. Let’s know everything.
What does the weather forecast say?
During the match played between India and Pakistan, the weather forecast is that the sky will be cloudy. According to the AccuWeather report, there is a possibility of 10 mm of rain. At the same time, this possibility ranges from 60 to 80 percent. In such a situation, it is possible that the match may not be canceled due to rain, but the overs can definitely be cut.
How many overs of play are required for the result?
In rain-affected ODI matches, at least 20-20 overs of play are necessary for a result. If the game is less than this then it is cancelled. Whereas if there was intermittent rain and the game was started midway, then the Duckworth-Lewis rule would be applied and the result of the match would be determined.
For example, if Pakistan batted first and scored 300 runs and Team India made a fast start while chasing the target and scored 100 runs in 15 overs. During this time, if the game is stopped due to rain and then the game is started after some time. In such a situation, the team will then be given a revised target on the basis of remaining wickets.
What if the match is canceled?
In the Asia Cup 2023, if the match between India and Pakistan is abandoned due to rain and not a single ball is bowled, then both the teams will be given one point each. If this happens then Pakistan will benefit from it and it will reach Super-4. In such a situation, Team India will have to beat Nepal again in their group match.
