Match Preview
In their next fixture of the ongoing Asia Cup 2023, India is set to lock horns with the debutants, Nepal. In their respective last clashes, both India and Nepal squared off against Pakistan. While Nepal played the inaugural match of the tournament on August 30 against Pakistan, India encountered Babar Azam side in their season opener on September 2, Saturday.
Toss Prediction
India and Nepal never went head-to-head against each other in the limited-over format. Hence, there is no record present of any of their previous fixtures. However, if we have a look at their respective games in the ongoing ACC event, Nepal lost the toss in their first match. On the other hand, it was Indian captain Rohit Sharma who won the toss in Men in Blue’s first match.
On the basis of this record, we think luck would favour Nepal captain Rohit Paudel in the next match and he would come on the top of the toss battle.
Win Possibility
While Nepal made their Asia Cup debut in the current season of the competition, India, over the years, have established themselves in the cricketing fraternity. The Men in Blue have won the tournament for the maximum time, and the record speaks for the dominance of the seven-time continental champions.
India are considered as one of the strongest teams across the globe, and we think Nepal would have to struggle a lot to survive in the game. Hence, our vote goes to Rohit Sharma’s boys, and we think they will win the match.
Predicted Powerplay Score and Average First Inning Score
Over the time, the venue of the upcoming match, Pallekele Stadium hosted a total of 35 matches. Among the matches, 363 remains the highest while 70 being the lowest scores recorded.
Speaking of the average first inning score of the stadium, the numbers read 248, and hence, the first inning score of the IND-NEP match is expected to be in the range of 245-255. Similarly, the average powerplay score of the stadium is 56, and hence, we believe in the next match it will hover around 45-60.
