IND vs NEP Match Preview

On Monday afternoon, India will face Nepal at the Pallekele International Cricket Stadium in Match 5 of the 2023 Asia Cup. Nepal was defeated by Pakistan by 238 runs in Match 1, but India’s first game of the tournament ended in a no-result on Saturday. India struggled against Pakistan’s top-class pace bowlers before the rain arrived on Saturday, but we do not expect them to struggle against Nepal’s bowlers. Nepal are not expected to win this match in their first appearance at the Asia Cup. They will, however, want to be more competitive than they were against Pakistan in their first game.

Topmost Picks for IND vs NEP Dream11 Prediction:

Top Picks – India

• Virat Kohli- the former all-format skipper had a disappointing game against Pakistan but is one of the best batters of his generation and he will be looking forward to taking on the Nepal bowlers on this pitch.
• Mohammed Siraj- the 24 year old is looking fully fit after injuries over the last 18 months and will fancy his chances of adding to his tally of 121 ODI wickets in this match.

Top Picks – Nepal

• Aarif Sheikh- the right-hander has hit over 900 ODI runs and he will enjoy the pace on offer from this pitch and from the Indian bowling attack.
• Sompal Kami- the opening bowler will have been disappointed to concede 85 runs against Pakistan but he will fancy dismissing some of India’s big name batters after getting Babar Azam in Match 1.

IND vs NEP Probable Winners:

Nepal took a couple of early wickets against Pakistan on Wednesday, and they will need to do the same against a very strong India side in this match. We don’t expect India to have any problems with bat or ball in this game, and we expect them to win. Considering the team combination, India is expected to win this match.
