Asia Cup Debutants Nepal Face World No. 1 ODI Side Pakistan

Nepal cricket team will write history today (Wednesday, August 30) as they will play their first-ever Asia Cup fixture.

Since earning their ODI status in 2018, Nepal have put together excellent talents. Sandeep Lamichhane for instance, has 42 ODI wickets in this calendar year, the most in this format. With all the latents, Nepal will look to ruffle a few feathers, starting with Pakistan today.

Nepal won the inaugural ACC Men’s Premier Cup earlier this year to earn their spot in the Asia Cup 2023. They beat the UAE in the final of that tournament.

Pakistan are currently the No. 1 ODI team in the world.  The two-time Asia Cup champions will look to pocket some confidence with a victory before they take on India on 2 Sep., at Pallekele. Babar Azam’s men are in magnificent form and are coming off a 3-0 ODI series win against Afghanistan.

Key Stats

  • Sandeep Lamichhane took 88 wickets, the most of any bowler since 2021.
  • Pakistan’s skipper Babar Azam is the No. 1 ODI batsman. He has scored 6 half-centuries and a hundred in 11 ODI innings this year.
  • It will be the first-ever meeting between Pakistan and Nepal across all formats.
