Pakistan vs Nepal LIVE: Cricket enthusiasts are eagerly anticipating the inaugural clash of the Asia Cup 2023, set to take place between Pakistan and Nepal. The Multan Cricket Stadium is poised to witness Babar Azam’s team in action against Nepal, with Pakistan emerging as the clear favourites for the match.
This matchup marks the first-ever encounter between Nepal and Pakistan in any international cricket event.
Led by Babar Azam, Pakistan’s team boasts considerable talent and experience, making them a formidable force. Babar, alongside key players like Mohammad Rizwan, Fakhar Zaman, and Imam-ul-Haq, will spearhead the team’s batting efforts, aiming to secure a strong start in the tournament.
Nepal, though considered a minnow in the cricketing arena, will be looking to defy expectations and put up a valiant fight against their formidable Pakistani opponents. However, they will undoubtedly face a stern test from Pakistan’s formidable pace trio consisting of Shaheen Shah Afridi, Haris Rauf, and Naseem Shah.
