As anticipation builds for the India vs. Pakistan Super 4 match in the Asia Cup, the weather has thrown a curveball into the mix. Rain, which disrupted Sunday's clash, is once again looming on the reserve day, putting Rohit Sharma's men in a precarious position.

In the previous India vs. Pakistan encounter in the Asia Cup, rain played spoilsport in Colombo, preventing any play after just 24.1 overs. At that point, the Indian team had scored an impressive 147 runs for the loss of 2 wickets. Fortunately, the Asian Cricket Council had wisely scheduled a reserve day for this crucial match. However, it seems that the weather conditions at the R Premadasa stadium in Colombo might not be any more favorable for cricket on Monday.

India had a strong start against Pakistan in the previous match, with Rohit Sharma leading the charge with a half-century, while young opener Shubman Gill also notched up a fifty. The partnership between Virat Kohli and KL Rahul promised to set a formidable target, but rain intervened, pushing the match to the reserve day.

So, what happens if the reserve day also falls prey to the weather?

In the Super 4 format, all four qualified teams play against each other once. Currently, Pakistan and Sri Lanka hold the top two spots, each with 2 points. Pakistan holds the top position due to their superior Net Run Rate (+1.051) compared to Sri Lanka's (+0.420). India, on the other hand, is yet to open their points tally, with the Pakistan match being their first in the Super 4s. Bangladesh is currently at the bottom with a points tally of -0.749, seemingly out of contention for the final.

If the India vs. Pakistan match in the Super 4 stage is washed out, both teams will share the points. This would take Pakistan's tally to 3 points, keeping them at the top of the points table, while India would lag behind with just 1 point.

A washout scenario could spell trouble for India if they don't secure wins in their next two matches. With Sri Lanka already notching a victory, they hold a higher position than India in the points table.

Despite having two more matches to play against Sri Lanka and Bangladesh in the Super 4s, the unpredictability of rain-marred contests, including the match against Pakistan, presents a significant challenge for the Indian team.
