The rains disrupted another India vs Pakistan thriller as India dominated the Pakistan pacers on Sunday. The match was interrupted when Pakistan bowlers were trying to make a comeback against mighty Indians. After several rounds of pitch inspection and efforts by the ground staff, rains returned and the match was called off for the day.

 

India have made two changes to their playing XI, injured Shreyas Iyer has been replaced by KL Rahul while Jasprit Bumrah takes his place back in the Indian side.

 

India will also be confident of their chances after inflicting a 10-wicket defeat upon Nepal in their last encounter. However, the Rohit Sharma-led side will try to approach the game a little differently from the last time, when India had trouble dealing with the Pakistani pacers and were struggling at 66 for the loss of four wickets at one stage before Ishan Kishan and Hardik stabilised the innings with a 100-run-plus partnership to take the team to a 250-run-plus target.
