Pallekele International Cricket Stadium will host IND vs NEP contest of Asia Cup 2023
The fifth match of Asia Cup 2023 will be played between India and Nepal on Monday, September 04 at Pallekele International Cricket Stadium.
In their tournament opener against arch-rivals, Team India got unlucky with the weather as the match got washed out. India won the toss and batted first, but our top order crumbled. Thanks to Hardik Pandya (87) and Ishan Kishan (82), the Men in Blue managed to salvage something from the wreckage. Meanwhile, Pakistan never got a chance to bat due to the persistent rain, and the match was called off.
On the other hand, Nepal took a 238-run beating from Pakistan in their last outing. They are definitely hungry for redemption in this one. However, taking down India won’t be a piece of cake as it is going to require some seriously exceptional efforts. All in all, an exciting 50-overs contest beckons at Pallekele International Cricket Stadium on Monday.
