Rain played spoilsport in India vs Pakistan Asia Cup. The group match was washed out with no reserve day in place in Pallekele. Rain also interrupted IND vs PAK Super 4 clash in Asia Cup. And with Round 3 of the mega clash, rain is set to play spoilsport once again.
It must be noted that there is no reserve day in place for World Cup league stage games. Reserve Day only comes into place from the semifinals.
