Asia Cup: Match between India-Pakistan resumes after second rain interruption

Kandy [Sri Lanka], August 2 (ANI): The play resumed after rain during the Asia Cup 2023 clash between arch-rivals India and Pakistan on Saturday. 
The rain continues to interrupt the action during the high-octane clash between India and Pakistan during the Asia Cup 2023 at Kandy, Sri Lanka, taking place on Saturday. The game has been interrupted two times so far due to rain. 
At the time rain interrupted the play, India was at 51/3 in 11.2 overs, with Shubman Gill (6*) and Ishan Kishan (2*) being unbeaten. 
Electing to bat first, India was once again off to a bad start. 
Skipper Rohit Sharma (11) and Virat Kohli (4) lost their wickets after being clean-bowled by Pakistan's pacer Shaheen Shah Afridi, reducing India to 27/2 in 6.3 overs. 
Shreyas Iyer, who made his return after months due to an injury, looked good and played some fine shorts. But then, a short ball by Haris Rauf was pouched by Fakhar Zaman at mid-wicket for 14 off 9, leaving India at 48/3 in 9.5 overs. 
At 51/3, rain interrupted the play. However, after some minutes, the action resumed.
