They were 175-7 in 31.4 overs when the covers came on.The no-result left India with three points from two matches.India have a slim chance of entering the final, which depends on Pakistan beating the world champions and collecting full six points.It was a big blow for the Indians who bounced back from their opening match defeat against Pakistan to put up a commanding performance on the field.
