India vs Nepal, Asia Cup 2023 Telecast Channel: Where to watch and live-streaming details in India
Team India will face Nepal in their final group-stage clash of the 2023 Asia Cup at the Pallekele International Stadium on Monday. The Men in Blue are placed second in the table with a point to their name, while Nepal are at the bottom with no points so far.
Rohit Sharma and company opened their 2023 Asia Cup campaign with a clash against arch-rivals Pakistan. They got much-needed exposure against a high-quality bowling attack, but could not test themselves against Pakistan's batting unit as rain forced the game to be abandoned after the first innings itself.
Rain also proposes to be a threat in the contest between India and Nepal to wrap up Group A in the 2023 Asia Cup. The two sides have never faced each other at the highest level, with the ongoing tournament being Nepal's first experience of a high-profile tournament, cementing their rise as an emerging nation in cricket.
Team India have to deal with one forced change to their playing XI since Jasprit Bumrah has left Sri Lanka for personal reasons. The right-arm pacer should be available for the Super 4 stage matches and beyond should India seal their progress.
