Asia Cup: India must prevail against Nepal to avoid group stage elimination

KATHMANDU: Because the India-Pakistan Asia Cup cricket match was canceled due to rain, India will play a crucial match against Nepal.

The match was canceled on Saturday in Kandy, Sri Lanka, after the second innings could not begin owing to heavy rain.

Pakistan and India tied with 1 point each. The match between Nepal and India is scheduled for Monday. Nepal will defeat India in that game and advance to the Super Four.

The match between Nepal and India will take place on Monday at 3:15 p.m. at the Pallekele International Cricket Stadium.

The last Group A match will be between Nepal and India.

Pakistan qualified for the Super Four with three points from two matches, winning one and sharing one. India is in second place with one point from one match. Nepal is at the bottom of the table with no points from one game. Nepal receives two points if it wins the last match. If they lose to Nepal, India will move out of last place with one point. Even if Nepal loses, it will have no points.

However, if the match is canceled due to weather or if India wins, India will advance to the Super Four. Nepal has no choice but to win in order to advance to the Super Four. In the opening match, Nepal was defeated by Pakistan by 238 runs.
