PAK vs IND: Fakhar Zaman Helped The Groundstaffs To Bring The Covers

PAK vs IND: The cricketing world was eagerly anticipating the Asia Cup 2023 Super 4 encounter between arch-rivals India and Pakistan at the R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo. However, nature had other plans as heavy rain disrupted the highly anticipated clash, leaving fans and players alike disappointed.

India’s innings had shown promise before the rain intervened. After being asked to bat, the opening pair of Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill had given India a fantastic start. Gill, in particular, was in sublime touch, notching up his 10th half-century in ODI cricket off just 37 balls. Rohit Sharma, the Indian captain, also reached a significant milestone, recording his 50th ODI fifty in 42 balls. Their partnership of 121 runs for the first wicket put India in a strong position.

However, Pakistan managed to claw their way back into the game after the powerplay. Leg-spinner Shadab Khan dismissed Rohit Sharma for a well-made 56, while Shaheen Afridi deceived Shubman Gill with a clever slower ball, sending him back to the pavilion for 58. At that point, India was positioned at 147 for 2 in 24.1 overs, with KL Rahul (17*) and Virat Kohli (8*) at the crease.

Just as the Indian innings seemed to be building towards a formidable total, the heavens opened up, sending players rushing off the field and ground staff scrambling to cover the pitch. Amidst the commotion, Pakistan’s Fakhar Zaman exhibited a heartwarming display of sportsmanship by assisting the ground staff with the covers instead of seeking shelter in the dressing room. This selfless act of sportsmanship by Fakhar Zaman earned him admiration and went viral on social media.

As cricket enthusiasts anxiously await updates on the match’s resumption, there are two possible scenarios: if no further play is possible today, the match will restart from the point of abandonment, with India at 147 for 2 in 24.1 overs. However, if conditions improve and a 20-over chase becomes feasible, the umpires will endeavour to complete a shortened game on the same day, avoiding the activation of the reserve day.
