Asia Cup 2023: Against Nepal, India aim to solve top-order problems ahead of Super 4
Skipper Rohit Sharma will be hoping for a better performance from his top order and middle-order barring Ishan Kishan and Hardik Pandya as they take on Nepal for the first time at the Pallekele International Cricket Stadium. However, the weather report doesn’t look good as it shows an 80% chance of precipitation on Monday, which means there are chances of this match being washed off too.

The stadium had served up forgettable memories for the India U-20 team, against the same opposition earlier in the year as they suffered a defeat and if there were any fears that this would prove to be a tricky tie, they were banished almost immediately. Within forty seconds of the start India had already launched up an attempt on goal, and after 20 minutes had already put the ball in the net thrice - albeit twice they were ruled out for offside.

India began the first half well, with Bipin Singh penetrating through the Nepal backline from the left flank on several occasions. In the sixth minute, he played in a looping ball for an onrushing Manvir Singh to head but Kiran Limbu came charging off his line to collect. Another Bipin cross put Nepali under pressure in the 24th minute as Anirudh Thapa looked to bring the ball under his control inside the penalty area.
