What happens in case of a washout on the reserve day?
In the event of a rain-induced washout in the Super 4 stage match between India and Pakistan, both teams will receive an equal share of points. This outcome would elevate Pakistan’s total points to 3, allowing them to maintain their position at the top of the points table. Meanwhile, India would remain in third place with 1 point.
A washout could potentially pose a significant challenge for the Indian team if they fail to secure victory in at least one of their next two matches. Sri Lanka, having already secured a win, would stay ahead of India in the points table.
While India is scheduled to play two more matches in the Super 4s against Sri Lanka and Bangladesh, there is no guarantee that these matches won’t also be affected by rain. Therefore, matches marred by rain, including the one against Pakistan, do not bode well for the Indian team.
