Rain in Sri Lanka, which is co-hosting the tournament with Pakistan, has put organizers in trouble. This tournament is a precursor to the upcoming ODI World Cup.
Virat Kohli was batting on eight and KL Rahul on 17 when rain forced players off the field and the groundstaff worked tirelessly to restart play after the rain stopped.
After three inspections and fans helping dry the wet patches, the umpires were looking to restart play after a stoppage of more than four hours, but the final decision was made due to rain.
Captain Rohit Sharma (56) and fellow opener Shubman Gill (58) gave India a fast start by scoring 121 runs in 100 balls and put Pakistan on the back foot.
The batsmen faced the new-ball pair of Shaheen Shah Afridi and Naseem Shah with aerial shots in the powerplay, when only two fielders are allowed outside the inner circle.
