Rain halts India-SL Super 4 clash

It was a day after they had posted a mammoth 350-plus total against arch-rivals Pakistan en route to their huge 228-run win.

Colombo: India were 197 for nine against Sri Lanka in their Super Four clash, when there was yet another rain interruption in the Asia Cup, here on Tuesday.
