It is a matter of great sadness for the Nepali fans, Nepal lost by a huge margin against Pakistan in the very first match of the Asia Cup. To be honest, the performance of Nepal team players was very boring. None of the batsmen in the Nepal team could perform well. If, the batsmen of the Nepal team could have kept the wicket and played a few more overs. Then the target gap given by Pakistan could have been reduced a little more. From my side I would say today's match was very bad. Such a match is not at all desirable in the international arena
It is foolish to make predictions before the game starts. It is true that Nepal is a bit weaker than all the other teams. ~snip~ So without watching this year's Asia Cup game. It is not possible to say by how much margin Nepal team will win or lose. ~
You have made a foolish reply here. In most of the cases, people make their predictions before the start of the match. And bettors place their bets by looking into several facts. Pakistan is both strong and experienced team. They won the match today with a big margin, which was expected here. Nepal is going to loss the next match in the same way against India.
Nepal had found tough time against No 1 ODI team. It's important for Nepal to stay motivated despite today's result, because of their strong bowling performance in the first 35 overs. And we know the remaining story, actually holding back the No 1 ODI team for a long time is hard task. Hopefully, Nepal will learn some valuable lessons from this match and perform better in the upcoming games. Congratulations to Pakistan for starting their Asia Cup journey with a big win. Now, i'm waiting for the next big match against India. That's going to be an exciting one!
One hell of an innings by Iftikhar Ahmed who scored his maiden international century and as usual their most consistent player Babar Azam played the captains innings and a partnership of 214 runs which was incredible for the 5th wicket and helped in taking the team to an impossible target for a team like Nepal. Nepal is struggling to get past 100 runs as they already lost their 6th wicket and it is going to be a huge win for Pakistan.
It is not possible for Nepal to win this match. Because they have already lost 9 wickets and scored only 104 runs while Pakistan gave them a target of 342 runs. Pakistan is a very good team and Pakistan is very likely to win this year's Asia Cup. So Nepal is not a strong opponent for them. And Pakistan is winning this match very easily. Bangladesh vs Sri Lanka will be played tomorrow.

Who is this Sompal Kami?
IMO he looked quite good for his 28 runs, played a couple of fine shots, and looked flawless to me. Does this guy have any franchise experience?

Other than Sandeep Lamichhane, I don't think that anyone in the Nepal team has experience with top-tier franchise T20 leagues. Sompal represented the Winnipeg Hawks for a few matches during Global T20 in Canada. But he has been a regular fixture of the Nepal team for the last 5-6 years. Opens the bowling and bats down the order. I am still not sure whether they will get to 150. After 20 overs, they are at 88/5. A second spell for either Shaheen Shah Afridi or Haris Rauf should wrap up the Nepal innings without much effort.
The first match of the Asia Cup between Pakistan and Nepal. After winning the toss Pakistan set a huge target of 343 runs in loss of 6 Wickets in 50 Overs. What a batting performance by Pakistani Team Openers struggling to score and out in just 25 runs in 6.1 overs but After Babar Azam came and scored 151 runs a beautiful inning with 14 fours and 4 sixs. Ifthkar Ahamd also scored a median century in just 67 balls. He scored 109 runs unbeaten at just 71 balls and reached Pakistan total of 342 runs. Nepal has very poor bowling and fielding performance. While chasing down Nepal has current score is 84 runs in a loss of 5 wickets in just 18 Overs. Shaheen Shah Afridi and Haris Rouf both picked up 2, 2 wickets and Naseem Shah picked up 1 wicket. Pakistan will easily win this match by huge runs.
How the freaking hell is that filth : Sandeep Lamichhane allowed to play when he was convicted of rape(minor) sometime back? I wasn't aware of this and I won't be watching Nepal's matches going forward.
Ah bummer, but we can't do anything about that as it's a management problem.Against this quality bowling lineup, they should At least try to survive for the next 30 overs. Anything above 30 overs is a bonus and a big learning opportunity for Nepal.
A team that allows a convicted rapist to play aren't really capable of learning much to be frank.~snip~
Now they should just look for moral victory and try to spend as much as time possible on the crease. There is no winning pressure on Nepal so play it out as long as they can.

14/3 after 1.4 overs, and their best batsmen are all back in pavilion (Kushal Bhurtel, Aasif Sheikh and Rohit Paudel). I am not sure whether they will survive for 30 overs. Aarif Sheikh and Sompal Kami are trying to rebuild the innings, but they are struggling against the raw pace of Shaheen Shah Afridi and Naseem Shah. One good thing about Nepal is that they have depth in the batting lineup, with Sandeep Lamichhane batting at no.10. Anything above 150 would be decent, and a 200+ total would be considered as good performance.

Pakistan is batting right now. Babar Azam has already got his 150 and Iftikhar Ahmed has already got his century. Raise one missed out on a half-century, he got out on 44. The opening pair did not do very well for Pakistan. However after that Pakistan did not give any chance to Nepal. Pakistan has finished on 342. The target for nepal is going to be 343.
And I am definitely certain that Nepal is not going to be able to choose the target to successfully. If they reach 250, it is going to be good performance from them. And I believe that against the bowling lineup of Pakistan, the betting of Nepal does not have any chance. Pakistan is definitely going to get a big win on the first day of the Asia cup.

Nepal at the moment struggling they have lost 3 of there opening batsmen on first 10 balls. Aarif Sheikh and Sompal Kami have a forth wicket partnership of 60 runs. Nepal must try to play full 50 overs quota and try to score maximum runs. These two games are vital for Nepal from prospective of gaining experience. In first games all teams have a bad performance that improve with passage of time.
I thought Pakistan was under a lot of pressure from batting point of view. But later Babar Azam and Iftikhar Ahmed were the main tools of Pakistan team today. But I can see there is no player in Nepal team who can sustain the match. The Nepal team is facing more pressure as time passes as the fall of four wickets threatens the Nepal team. I can say because the bowling line of Pakistan team is stronger than the bowling line of Nepal team due to which the game is more tough. If the Pakistan team has to win then they must have a good bowling performance today to take the team to the top of the victory. In such a situation, the Nepal team has faced a lot of pressure by losing wickets.

Dropped catches are proving costly for Nepal. Pakistan seems to be comfortably cruising towards a score of 350. Nepal bowling imploded after the 35th over and after that their bowlers have been conceding close to 10-12 runs per over. Both Babar Azam and Iftikhar Ahmed have stepped up the scoring rate. Nepal captain looks clueless and he is sticking with the spinners despite them being very expensive towards the depth overs. Nepal is staring at a very heavy defeat in their debut Asia Cup match and only a miracle can save them now.

You have to agree Pakistan bowling line-up is one of the best bowling attacks in the world today. So I don't think Nepal's inexperienced batsmen will be able to score 150 runs against such experienced bowlers. However i can see Nepal is batting very well now, Nepal lost three wickets for just 14 runs, and at the end of 14 overs, Nepal collected 73 runs. Another thing is that Aarif Sheikh and Sompal are batting very well now, probably Nepal will be able to collect around 200 runs. However I expected to see a completely one-sided match, and so it is. Both batsmen and bowlers of Pakistan are playing very well.
In the Pakistan vs Nepal match, Pakistan came out to bat first and gave a target of 342 runs in 50 overs. The run target that Pakistan has given cannot be exceeded by Nepal team today. Now Nepal came out to bat. They scored 14 runs in 2 overs. Now Till now Nepal has lost 3 strong wickets. It seems that the batsmen of Nepal team will be all out. Shaheen Afridi of Pakistan team has started bowling well. Now Shaheen Afridi has taken 2 wickets.
The poor performance of Nepal's batsmen in no way guarantees that they will win the match against Pakistan. Pakistan batted brilliantly and scored huge runs but Nepal lost wickets and came under a lot of pressure. At the moment, Nepal's batsmen are not performing very well due to which they are not able to increase the runs. Although Nepal have three wickets at the moment so if they can still bat well against Pakistan then they can collect a good run. However, as Pakistan has scored a good run to win today's match, it may not be possible for Nepal to reach this run. And we can see that all the Pakistanis are bowling brilliantly and they are able to take wickets. However today's match we can safely say that the first tournament of Asia Cup Pakistan is expected to leave the field with a great win for Nepal. Dropped catches are proving costly for Nepal.

Iftekhar Cha-cha 109*
Nepal's bowlers were controlling well till 25 overs but Pakistan's innings of Iftekhar Ahmed 109* (Chacha Saab) and Babar Azam's 151 runs made it unlikely that Nepal would win. From the beginning of the innings, many thought that Pakistan might not be able to give the target of 250 runs, but the picture of the match changed completely due to the partnership of 214 runs by Iftekhar Ahmed and Babar Azam. In today's match, Iftekhar Ahmed scored the first century in his ODI career which will surely be a milestone in his career. Although Iftekhar Ahmed did not play many ODI matches in his career scoring 402 runs in just 15 (14 innings) ODI matches with a century and a half-century.

Haha. Iftekhar said multiple times, please don't call me cha-cha. But who cares? Jokes aside, this guy playing really well at this age. Pakistan was 158-4 in the 34th over, and I thought they might end up scoring 270-280 from 50 overs. Iftekhar Cha-cha had eleven runs from 16 balls, and then suddenly he started chasing Nepali bowlers. Babar Azam played well as always.
Now it's a big challenge for Nepali batters to chase this runs. I don't think they will be able to chase it. They already lost three wickets scoring 23 runs from five overs. All they should try to play all the overs and see where they end up.
In the first match of Asia Cup Group A, Pakistan team batted first and set Nepal a target of 343 runs. Meeting this target is very difficult for Nepal. It is impossible to dream that Nepal can fulfill the target given by Pakistan in today's match. Now it is only to see how much Nepal can reduce the gap of the target given by Pakistan. Pakistan team players Babar Azam and Iftekhar Ahmed performed brilliantly in Asia Cup opening match. Iftekhar Ahmed scored a century off 71 balls. And Babar Azam scored a magnificent century with 151 runs off 131 balls
In the Pakistan vs Nepal match, Pakistan came out to bat first and gave a target of 342 runs in 50 overs. The run target that Pakistan has given cannot be exceeded by Nepal team today. Now Nepal came out to bat. They scored 14 runs in 2 overs. Now Till now Nepal has lost 3 strong wickets. It seems that the batsmen of Nepal team will be all out. Shaheen Afridi of Pakistan team has started bowling well. Now Shaheen Afridi has taken 2 wickets.
