IND vs NEP Pitch Report:

The surface at the Pallekele International Cricket Stadium is one that is preferred by the batters with some assistance for the seamers initially. With little to offer for the bowlers, it could be quite tough to dismiss the batters who are set on the crease. Opting to bowl first on such a surface could be a viable decision.

Probable Best Performers:

Probable Best Batter-

Ishan Kishan (India):

Star Indian wicketkeeper batter Ishan Kishan could be the best batter in the side’s upcoming clash against Nepal. Kishan was on top of his game when India took on Pakistan in match 3. Scoring 82 runs in 81 deliveries, Kishan stabilized India’s innings and helped them post a reasonable total on the board. 

Probable Best Bowler-

Mohammed Shami (India):

The most experienced bowler in the Indian lineup could be too hot to handle for the Nepal team who had folded like a deck of cards against Pakistan's pace attack in the Asia Cup 2023 opener. Shami, with his inch-perfect deliveries, also stands a chance to prove his worth and stamp his name in India's playing XI.
