Cricket Live Score: India vs Nepal, Asia Cup 2023, Watch live streaming for free

India vs Nepal

India won the toss and elected to bowl first against Nepal in the first international match between the two teams in rainy Pallekele.

The Ind v Nep match is being telecast in India by Star Sports. It can be watched live online for free on Hotstar.com on mobile devices.

As of writing, Nepal score was 216 for the loss of seven wickets after 46 overs. Still, four overs of play are remaining.


The decision to bowl first was made after the rain had stopped, but it started to drizzle again just as Rohit Sharma announced his decision. The rain had also fallen on the eve of the game, forcing Nepal’s players to train indoors.

India was without their premier fast bowler, Jasprit Bumrah, who returned home for his first child’s birth. He will likely rejoin the side for the Super Four round. Bumrah’s absence opened up a spot for Mohammed Shami, who will be in action in his first ODI since March. This will also be Shami’s first white-ball game since the IPL final in May.


Rohit Paudel, who was captaining Nepal two days after his 21st birthday against India’s superstars, called this the “biggest day” for Nepal cricket. They also made one change, with Bhim Sharki replacing Aarif Sheikh. Sharki was also part of the Nepal side that had toured the island for the men’s Emerging Asia Cup in July earlier this year.

This game is being played on the same pitch used for India-Pakistan, which was washed out. After rain denied India’s bowlers a crack at Pakistan’s line-up on Saturday, they will look to get a solid workout against Nepal. India will progress to the Super Fours round if they win on Monday, or even another washout will suffice.
