Colombo: India set 357 runs target for Pakistan in Super 4 clash of Asia Cup 2023 at Colombo ground on Monday.

Virat Kohli scored 122 runs off  94 balls while KL Rahul made 111 runs off 106 balls and pushed their side to a strong position.  A day earier, Rohit Sharma made a good start and made 56 runs and Shubman Gill did 58 runs. India set the target against the loss of two wickets.

Pakistani bowlers failed to contain the Indian batters. The Indian batters did not waste even a single over and continued to push the scores up.

Earlier today, Pakistani fast bowler Haris Rauf was sidelined from the India-Pakistan clash as a precautionary measure after bowling just five overs in the innings.

The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) issued a concise statement explaining the situation, saying, "Haris Rauf will not be participating in further bowling during the Asia Cup Super 4 match against India as a precautionary step. He reported slight discomfort in his right flank during the match yesterday."

The statement continued, "Subsequently, as a precautionary measure, he underwent an MRI examination, which showed no signs of a tear. He is currently under the supervision of the team's medical staff."

The Asia Cup 2023 Super 4 match had been called off the previous day due to persistent rain. Pakistan had won the toss and elected to bowl first against India.

When rain halted play on Sunday, India had scored 147/2 in 24.1 overs. In accordance with the playing conditions, the game resumed from this point on the reserve day, with no overs lost.
