India in charge as rain stops play once again
Manchester, June 16 (IBNS): Rain has stopped play for the second time in the high-voltage Cricket World Cup match here at Old Trafford where India are in complete control and Pakistan staring at defeat.
If play resumes, Pakistan would need 171 runs to win in 15 overs with just four wickets remaining.
If play cannot continue and the Duckworth-Lewis-Stern method is applied, India still stands to win at this stage.
