Points table
The India and Pakistan match was washed out due to continuous rain, and both teams had to share one point each. Pakistan is currently on top of the points table with 3 points, while Sri Lanka is at 2 Points with one win and a loss.
India needs to win the match against Nepal today with a big margin if it has to qualify for the next phase of the Asia Cup 2023.
However, there have been concerns regarding the weather at Pallekele.. The organizers have faced severe criticism in selecting the venues. When they knew there is going to be rain during these days why were the matches held in Sri Lanka?
India players news
India is the clear favorite to win this match. They are the defending champions and have a much stronger team than Nepal. India’s batting lineup is led by Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and KL Rahul. Their bowling attack is also very good, led by Jasprit Bumrah and Bhuvneshwar Kumar.
Nepal Players news
Nepal is a relatively new team, and they are still learning.
They have some talented players, but they need more experience at the international level. Sandeep Lamichhane and Dipendra Airee lead Nepal’s batting lineup. Sompal Kami and Karan KC lead their bowling attack.
Pallekele weather forecast
The weather forecast for the match is for partly cloudy skies with a slight chance of rain. The pitch at Pallekele is a good batting surface, so it should be a high-scoring match.
The India-Pakistan ODI match was washed out due to rain in Pallekele on Saturday. The India-Nepal match, which is also scheduled to be played at the same venue on Monday, is also under threat of rain, with the chances of precipitation being as high as 80%. If the Monday match is also washed out, India will join Pakistan in the Super Fours from Group A.
