The Men in Blue are all set to take on Nepal in the 5th game of the ongoing Asia Cup 2023. The much-awaited match will take place at the Pallekele International Cricket Stadium in Pallekele on Monday, September 4th, at 3:00 pm IST. Both sides clashed with Pakistan in their opening games, where Nepal suffered a defeat by a margin of 238 runs, and India's opening game was abandoned due to rain interference after the first inning. However, India posted a total of 266/10 runs. Notably, this game is going to be crucial for India because the Shaheens have qualified for the playoffs with 3 points and a massive net run rate of +4.760. Pitch Condition Usually, the Pallekele Cricket Stadium is known for favouring batters. However, in the last game played between India and Pakistan on this pitch, the opposite was true due to rain. The Pacers dominate in the game.
