For all the hype surrounding the clash between India and Pakistan at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata on Saturday (March 19), it is all proving to be an anti-climax with the rain gods not too keen on witnessing one of the fiercest of rivalries in sports at the ICC World T20 2016. While India, hosts and tournament favourites, lost their opening encounter to New Zealand, Pakistan won their first match against Bangladesh.

Updates from Kolkata by our reporter Prakash Govindasreenivasan:

6:10 PM: No drizzle at the moment

6:18 PM: It's a steady drizzle at the moment

6:21 PM: It has stopped again. Long night ahead, folks.

Rain has interrupted play in Delhi as well. A super exciting contest between India women and Pakistan women was stopped by a heavy downpour. The match was heading for a close finish. At the moment, Pakistan women are two runs ahead on par score (as per DLS method). Catch all the action of the match here: (http://r.cricbuzz.com/India-v-Pak-Women)

ICC has stated that overs will start reducing if the match doesn't begin by 8.15 pm. 10.20 is the cut-off time for 6-overs-a-side match. In hope, we live.

There is huge cheer in the stadium as one cover near the pitch has been brought off. The other one too was brought off, but put back again.

Meanwhile, in the women's match, the cut off time is 6:50 PM. It is still drizzling. If the match does not resume, Pakistan will win the contest, according to the DLS Method

It is official now. Pakistan Women have beaten India Women at the Feroz Shah Kotla Stadium in New Delhi. Sadly, it was rain which eventually decided the result of a match that was heading for an exciting finish. Here is what happened in that match: (http://r.cricbuzz.com/India-v-Pak-Women)

Sourav Ganguly has entered the field and is actively monitoring the work of the groundsmen. All the covers, except the lower cover on the pitch, have been taken off and the spider cam is getting installed. Remember, this is the first international encounter (involving India) at the Eden Gardens since Ganguly has taken over as the President of Cricket Association Bengal (CAB).

The super soppers are on. The pitch is getting rolled. Even as the toss has been delayed, we can expect a 20-over-a-side contest if the match resumes by 8:20 PM. Rain was all that was needed to be added to the drama of this India-Pakistan contest.

Thetoss is set to happen at 8.10 PM. It will be an 18-over-a-side match. The match will start at 8.30 PM with 5 overs of Powerplay for each side. Players from both sides are warming up on the ground with a bit of touch football. Prakash Govindasreenivasan, our reporter in stadium, says, "(It is) Quite a podium at the Eden. Waqar, Wasim and Imran Khan on one side. Sachin, Sehwag and Gavaskar on the other."

Stating the obvious, but a traditional 'take your pick' question before the match: Will India maintain the World Cup winning streak against Pakistan or will Pakistan maintain their winning streak against India at the Eden Gardens?

Mahendra Singh Dhoni, India skipper, won the toss and elected to field against Pakistan. They are going in with an changed side that lost against New Zealand. Dhoni thinks that the past record against their arch-rivals wouldn't matter.

Shahid Afridi, Pakistan captain, said he would've bowled first, but believes that if they can play the kind of cricket they played in the previous encounter against Bangladesh, they will be able to give a tough competition.

Teams:

Pakistan (Playing XI): Sharjeel Khan, Ahmed Shehzad, Mohammad Hafeez, Umar Akmal, Shoaib Malik, Sarfraz Ahmed(w), Shahid Afridi(c), Wahab Riaz, Mohammad Sami, Mohammad Amir, Mohammad Irfan

India (Playing XI): Shikhar Dhawan, Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Suresh Raina, Yuvraj Singh, MS Dhoni(w/c), Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, Ravichandran Ashwin, Ashish Nehra, Jasprit Bumrah

The ball is gripping and turning already. Ravichaandran Ashwin, who came on to bowl the second over had the Pakistan openers - Sharjeel Khan and Ahmed Shehzad in all sorts of trouble. Nasser Hussain has made a point though - India's struggle against spin in recent times is a matter of worry for the hosts.

Most pitches around the world wouldn't spin as much on the fifth day of a Test match as it is in the seventh over of the T20I match at the Eden Gardens right now. Pakistan openers are at sea facing Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja. A few edges are going past the boundary ropes to help the scoreboard moving. The scorecard, at the moment, isn't providing a good picture.In a bid to attack Suresh Raina, Sharjeel Khan goes after him and looks to clear the infield. Hardik Pandya comes running from long on and takes a superb forward diving catch to dismiss the Pakistan opener. Pandya has hurt himself and has had to leave the field.

Shahid Afridi may have come out to bat at No. 3, but it is Ahmed Shehzad who gets out playing a kind of shot that his captain has for so many years and lost his wicket.

With a seamer bowling, it almost seems like Pakistan want to milk all the runs they can off him. While it is spinning square, Pakistan's batting, otherwise, has been terrible too.

In a rain-shortened match Shahid Afridi promoted himself up the order hoping to add some quick runs. However, the move backfired as he departed for a 14-ball 8. Surprisingly, two of the three wickets to fall so far is off the medium pacers and not the spinners, who are getting pampered by the pitch on offer.

On a pitch, where the ball is turning as much as one would've seen in any T20 match, why hasn't Yuvraj Singh been brought into the attack, while Hardik Pandya is getting swatted all across the park?

Shoaib Malik and Umar Akmal have taken advantage of the use of medium pacers by MS Dhoni on a pitch that is turning square. Pakistan's run rate has gone above run-a-ball for the first time in the match. Pakistan have gone past the 100-run mark. However, Akmal fell soon after to Ravindra Jadeja and Malik to Ashish Nehra.

Pakistan have finished their innings at 118 for five in 18 overs. The target might look small, but do not forget the Nagpur match. India's woes against spin shouldn't be underestimates. Fortunately for them, Pakistan have just two spinners in their ranks - Shoaib Malik and Shahid Afridi. Can they cause enough destruction? Will Dhoni rue the decision of not bowling Yuvraj Singh?

"Stop talking about him already. He isn't the only bowler, Pakistan have five other bowlers who are doing well for them. There is just so much hype around him, I don't think it is right to give him too much hype after one match. He is good but he needs to prove it over and over again. He is just a normal bowler, on that given day if he is good, he is good. It is not as if he turns up and blows everyone away." - Rohit Sharma on Mohammad Amir before the clash. But well, the Mumbai batsmen got out playing a terrible shot off the left-armer as India lost their first wicket. Remember, Amir had dismissed Rohit Sharma in the previous encounter between India and Pakistan.After an erratic first over, Amir came back well to bowl a maiden-wicket in the second.

Mohammad Sami started the over in the worst way possible. After conceding a boundary off the first ball, he over-stepped off the second to gift a Free Hit. However, he came back well, by bowling a dot off the Free Hit and then cramping Shikhar Dhawan for room and forcing him to inside edge the ball onto the stumps.

Suresh Raina was sent back to the pavilion off the first delivery, again by getting him to inside edge the ball. A bit of extra pace and bounce is doing the trick. Three wickets down for India.

Virat Kohli and Yuvraj Singh are slowly reconstructing India's chase. One run at a time. Remember, Virat Kohli has scored more than 20 runs in every T20 International chase. He averages over 100 in T20Is while chasing. Meanwhile, India have gone past the 50-run mark.

After putting India in control, Yuvraj Singh has holed out to Mohammad Sami at deep mid wicket. Harsha Bhogle says, "Someone has turned off the volume at the Eden Gardens." Not only is India well-placed to win the match, but also in a good position to help improve their Net Run Rate.

Virat Kohli stroked yet another half-century to put India in command in the low-scoring chase. He celebrated by bowing down to Sachin Tendulkar. India have gone past the 100-run mark

Like so often, Virat Kohli set up the chase perfectly and MS Dhoni hit the winning run to take India to a 6-wicket win over Pakistan at the Eden Gardens. India have maintained their winning streak against Pakistan in World Cups - 11-0 and 5-0 in World T20s.
