The rain has once again halted the Super 4 game between Pakistan and India in Colombo.
Pakistan, in pursuit of a challenging target of 357 runs set by India, found themselves at 44/2 after 11 overs when the rain disrupted the game. Notably, Pakistan had already lost two key wickets, Imam ul Haq and their captain, Babar Azam.
In order for an One Day International (ODI) cricket match to be considered valid, a minimum of 20 overs must be bowled.
If the game loses a total of 30 overs, Pakistan's target will be 200 runs in just 20 overs, which means they will need to score 156 runs in the remaining 9 overs.
Whereas, the target will be 237 for a 25-over game and 267 for 30 overs.
You need at least 20 overs to constitute a game.

The current DLS target for 20 overs is 140 with 2 wickets down.
But the target will go higher if the overs start getting reduced. If 30 overs are reduced, PAK's target will be 200 in 20 overs (156 further in 9 overs). #IndvPak
