 Pakistan vs India: The threat of rain on the day of the match is making India, Pakistan players also curious

Rain is the biggest threat to the T20 World Cup match between Pakistan and India in Melbourne on Sunday (tomorrow).

 "We are not singing lullabies to children"

 Pakistani team captain Babar Azam says that we are not listening to children, the weather is not in our hands.

 Babar Azam said that according to the situation we are ready for this match.

"It is in the hands of the one above."

Indian cricket team captain Rohit Sharma was asked on Saturday how much rain could affect the match, his reply was that 'it is in the hands of the upper hand' but he wants the match not to be affected. Just be it for the full forty overs because the fans have bought tickets for the whole match, they want to see the whole match, but if the match is limited to five eight or ten overs due to rain, it is disappointing for everyone. '

 Rohit Sharma says that the players also want to play the full match as the competition is seen in the entire forty overs match but if this match is played in fewer overs then the players have to be ready for it.

 The match between Pakistan and India is of great interest to the one and a half billion people of the Indian subcontinent and to the people of these countries living around the world and also to the cricket fans of other nations because this game between traditional rivals is not a game but a war. The sky begins to create.

 Now the question arises that if it rains between these matches, then what will happen to the game?

 According to ICC rules, if the match cannot be played at all due to rain, then both the teams will be given one point each.

There is no reserve day for group matches on which a rain-affected match can be replayed, however this facility is kept for semi-finals and finals.

 However, if the match is played and one team wins, the winning team will get two points and the losing team will get nothing.

According to ICC rules, if one team has batted completely, the other team has to play at least five overs, then the winning team will be determined by Duckworth-Louis rules.

 The Duckworth-Lewis method is a mathematical formula to re-determine the target for the team playing the second innings by correcting for overs affected by rain or poor lighting.

 The things that are taken into account for this are how many overs have been lost and how many wickets the other team has available.

 Because of this, the target for the other batting team may decrease or increase.

 However, if even five overs are not played, the Duckworth-Lewis method will not apply and the match will be declared a 'wash-out', resulting in the points being shared between the two teams.
