Friday, Nov 7: The India vs Pakistan Pool C clash at the Hong Kong Sixes 2025 has come to a standstill as heavy rain lashed the Mission Road Ground in Mong Kok, forcing players off the field.
At the time of interruption, Pakistan were 41/1 after 3 overs, chasing 87 runs for victory. The team still needed 46 runs from 18 balls. The partnership between Khawaja Nafay (18 off 9 balls) and Abdul Samad (16 off 6 balls) had kept Pakistan’s hopes alive, but worsening conditions have brought the match to an uncertain pause.
Ground staff rushed in with bigger covers as the rain intensified, and officials have confirmed that the delay is likely to extend beyond playable limits. The latest updates from the venue suggest that the match is now likely to be called off, with no signs of the rain easing.
Earlier, India posted 86/4 in 6 overs, powered by Robin Uthappa’s 28 (11) and Dinesh Karthik’s unbeaten 17 (6). Pakistan’s Muhammad Shahzad impressed with two wickets.
If the game is abandoned, both teams are expected to share points in the Pool C standings.
Current status:
- India: 86/4 (6 overs)
- Pakistan: 41/1 (3 overs)
- Target: 87
- Rain: Heavy; players off field
- Update: Match likely to be called off soon
