Both India and Nepal are yet to win a game in Asia Cup 2023 although the former have opened their account after their first game was washed out.

Playing the Asia Cup for the first time in their history, Nepal suffered a crushing 238-run loss at the hands of Pakistan. After conceding a big total of 342, the Rohit Paudel-led side were all out for a modest total of 104 runs. India, on the other hand, saw their game against Pakistan getting washed out. India recovered from 66 for 4 to post 266 before rain brought a premature end to the match.

Unlike Nepal, India just need to avoid a loss to progress to the next round. With the weather forecast for the IND vs NEP game not promising, even a washout will be enough for India to make it to the Super 4. On the other hand, Nepal will need all the two points to make it to the Super 4.
