Pakistan led 3-2 at half-time, but the Men in Blue managed to come back and level the score at 4-4 before the full-time whistle.

Speaking of the other Indian vs Pakistan game on the same day, it was the third cricket match in Asia Cup 2023, which was washed out after the first innings played by the Rohit Sharma-led side.

In the cricket game, Team India won the toss and batted first. India, after the early blows by Pakistan bowlers, recovered well and posted a total of 266/10 in 48.5 overs in the Asia Cup 2023. The Men in Blue's chances of getting a good score were shattered after their top-order batters departed within the 15 overs of the game, but with Ishan Kishan and Hardik Pandya's 82 and 87 run mark, they posted the contested total.
