The much-anticipated India vs Pakistan match in Pallekele was called off due to rain on Saturday. The Babar Azam-led side could not start its chase as rain eventually forced the match to be abandoned. India were bowled out for 266 runs after opting to bat first as Shaheen Afridi registered a four-wicket haul (4 for 35). The left-arm pacer kept the Indian team at bay despite fifties from Hardik Pandya (87) and Ishan Kishan (82). India were 66 for 4 at one stage but a 138-run partnership between Hardik and Kishan brought them back in the game. Naseem Shah and Haris Rauf picked three wickets each, denting India's progress towards the end.
Given that the match ended without a result, both India and Pakistan shared a point each.
