Pakistan (PAK)<\/strong> will be up against <\/strong>Nepal (NEP)<\/strong> in the 1st match of the Asia Cup 2023 <\/strong>at the Multan Cricket Stadium<\/strong> in Multan <\/strong>on August 30. <\/strong>Pakistan are coming off a brilliant series where they clean-swept Afghanistan and would be looking forward to continuing with the winning momentum. Nepal, on the other hand, have also been in decent form, with two wins from the last five matches.<\/p>\n

Pakistan had played against Afghanistan in their last match, where Pakistan won the toss and elected to bat. Choosing to bat was not too bad a decision as they had a decent opening stand, but what stood out was the third wicket partnership where Babar and Rizwan both went on to score fifties. Their knock helped Pakistan push to a total of 268 runs. Afghanistan, in reply, did not start as they needed to and kept losing wickets. Even though Mujeeb smashed the fastest fifty by an Afghan player, the total still seemed to be more, and they lost the match by 59 runs.<\/p>\n

Nepal had squared off against Ireland in their last encounter, where Ireland won the toss, and they elected to field. Nepal\u2019s start was a little slow, but after the fall of the first wicket, they upped their scoring rate. A couple of good partnerships and a fantastic finish towards the end by a fifty from Gulsan Jha took Nepal\u2019s total to 268 runs. Ireland lost early wickets but managed to come back in the middle. They kept losing wickets regularly, which kept the match exciting, and Ireland managed to win the game by two wickets in the last over.<\/p>\nClick Here: Who will win today\u2019s match between Pakistan vs Nepal?<\/a><\/h5>"

Pitch Report

Multan Cricket Stadium has historically been helpful to batters where Pacers enjoy bowling due to the seam and swing they have on offer. Reverse swing might also disturb the batters, so they need to keep an eye on the ball. Teams winning the toss might choose to chase the total, with the average first innings total being 239.
