LIVE UPDATES
India vs Pakistan match has been called off due to rain. We saw some brilliant cricket in the first half as Pakistan’s fast bowlers got the better of Indian batters at the beginning and the end of the innings. In between, Hardik Pandya and Ishan Kishan, played, arguably, their best ODI innings to date. But the rain had the final say. It was expected to delay the start, but the match started on time.
