India will cross swords with Nepal in the group A encounter of Asia Cup 2023 on Monday, September 4 at the Pallekele International Cricket Stadium in Pallekele. Rain played spoilsport in India's previous Asia Cup game against Pakistan and thus, they could only bag a point for the game. With the match against Men in Green abandoned, the clash against Nepal will be a knockout game with the winner sealing the spot in the Super Fours round. The Men in Blue possess many match-winners in their arsenal and they would fancy their chances to trump the Nepal side. However, they would not take the Nepal side lightly and bring their A-game into play in the must-win game.  Hardik Pandya, Ishan Kishan Shine Before Rain Plays Spoilsport in IND vs PAK Asia Cup 2023 Match

Nepal on the other hand, are entering the contest, having sustained a comprehensive 238-run loss at the hands of Pakistan in the opening game of the ongoing continental tournament. They would look to make amends and put up an improved display against India. Rohit Paudel & Co. have a golden opportunity to script history by defeating the Men in Blue and they would leave no stone unturned to upset the Indian side.
