Surprise to see Multan stadium is empty for limited overs cricket. I was expecting a packed house in the opening match and Pakistan is hosting only 4 games.
I get it, Nepal is a weaker opponent but Multan has one of the cricket hungry crowds in the subcontinent. Hope stands to get filled as the match progresses. At least there is some support for Nepal.

Probably because the opposition is very weak, pakistani audience is not interested in this match. Still I thought that since this is the first match of the Asia Cup, and only 4 matches will be played in pakistan, maybe Pakistani fans will come to the stadium to support their team, however we don't see that. Perhaps Pakistan economic crisis is responsible for this. Perhaps because of the economic crisis, the audience has lost interest in cricket.
Pakistan won the toss and decided to bat, and opener Fakhar zaman and imam Ul haque are batting very carefully. Pakistan scored only 21 runs in 5 overs. If they stay at the crease, Pakistan will give a target of 300+ on such a pitch today. However, the team may face problems if they lose wickets quickly.
