Pakistan and India squared off against each other in Group A match of Asia Cup in Kandy on Saturday

Opting to bat first, Rohit-led side set up a target of 267 for Pakistan to chase in 50 overs. However, rain being the spoilsport halted the second innings even before it began.

Here is what can potentially be Pakistan’s target to chase if overs are reduced according to Duckworth–Lewis–Stern (DLS) method.

If overs are reduced, Pakistan's target will be:

254 if 45 overs
239 if 40 overs
203 if 30 overs
155 if 20 overs

Rain is back and this could help Pakistan. Their target was set to be 226 in 36 overs which is a difficult chase. If more overs are reduced, it will help Pakistan cos target is

155 if 20 overs
180 if 25 overs

The cut-off time for the 20-over game is 9:57 pm (Pakistan Standard Time).
