There was already a possibility of rain on Saturday 2 September at Pallekele Stadium. Despite this, the weather cooperated so much that the match could start on time. Team India captain Rohit Sharma won the toss and decided to bat first. Even during the batting of Team India, it rained twice but it did not last long, due to which the match was damaged and hence the batting of the Indian team could be completed.

Team India's top order exposed

Meanwhile, if we talk about the match between India and Pakistan, then Team India's batting has been done, it has become clear that the top order of the Indian team still needs to work harder. Especially Shubman Gill, who played more than 30 balls, but could only score 10 runs. A slow start doesn't matter when the strike rate can be corrected by batting fast later. Meanwhile, the good news is that the middle order batted well. Team India had lost four big wickets for 66 runs at one time, but after that reached the score of 266 runs, in which Hardik Pandya and Ishaan Kishan contributed a lot. While Hardik Pandya showed that he is a big game player, Ishan Kishan proved that he can be a threat to the opposition team by batting at any number if he is in rhythm. Well now wait for India vs Nepal match and after that when India and Pakistan will compete in Super 4, enjoy it.
