Match Preview: Nepal vs India - Asian Games Cricket Quarter Final
Date: October 3, 2023
Venue: Ping Feng Campus Cricket Field, Hangzhou
City Sports Network,
In a highly anticipated showdown, the Nepal national cricket team is set to take on the Indian cricket team in the quarterfinals of the Asian Games cricket tournament on October 3, 2023. This fixture promises to be an exciting clash as it marks Nepal's first-ever encounter with India in a T20 International, following their earlier meeting in the Asia Cup 2023.
Historically, Nepal faced a formidable Indian side in the Asia Cup, where despite Nepal's valiant effort in posting a challenging 230-run total, India's experienced batsmen secured a convincing 10-wicket victory. However, the Indian team in this tournament is not the same experienced squad currently competing in the Cricket World Cup.
