IND vs NEP Weather: Rain to again ruin Asia Cup 2023 match at Pallekele Stadium

This will be the third match to be played at the Pallekele Stadium in the Asia Cup 2023. While the first match on August 31 ended with Sri Lanka winning, the second match between India and Pakistan on September 2 was washed off.

After the weather marred the blockbuster IND vs PAK encounter on August 2, the fate of the 5th match on August 4 at the Pallekele Stadium seems to be the same. This could mean that India would qualify for the Super Fours without winning a match, while Nepal would be eliminated from the tournament with one loss and a match ending in no result.
