Disappointment and surprises are the part of the game. And in the cricket game we mostly saw these kind of things. But today's match is showing the total favor of Pakistan. But Nepal will also try to show its power but we can't expect more. Because Pakistani team has a good Squad which already been shown its power against Afghanistan. By the way fully excited to watch the first Asia Cup match. Smiley

At least Nepal should be happy that they are getting a chance to play against two of the top ODI teams. Asia Cup remains the only continental cup in cricket. None of the other continents have anything similar. I would have liked the ACC to add two more teams to the tournament. But then that would mean useless matches involving mercenary teams such as the United Arab Emirates and Oman, who doesn't have a single national playing for them. At least in case of Nepal, all of their players are citizens of that country.

I stand with Palestine.
Pakistan is at its best and Nepal can expect to perform well. When it comes to winning, this is really tough. The odds itself show how the match gonna be. All that I expect, the match shouldn't be completely one sided. Nepal needs to try something to experience the loss at minimal margin. Same time disappointment and surprises too could happen same as what we saw with the Pakistan's previous series against Afghanistan.

The first match of the Asia cup between Pakistan and Nepal and I do not see any upset being happening at the start of the series. Pakistan should easily won this match and we can bet on it. I just checked the stake to see the odds for this match and was disappointed to see the odds of 1.01 for the Pakistan win. It is not worth taking the risk.
Also, do not take the risk on Nepal's 12.50 odds either. Nepal will not be able to win this one.

First of all I don't think the nepal team is strong. This team may have some very talented players . But this team is very inexperienced. I don't think nepal will do well with an inexperienced squad in a platform like the Asia Cup.
Secondly pakistan is in very good form now. This team is playing very well especially in the ODI format. Pakistan won the last series against afghanistan by a margin of 3-0, and in the previous series against new zealand, pakistan won 4-1. Against a team in such form, the nepali players are unlikely to perform even well . Also pakistan bowling attack is one of the best bowling attack in the world.  So I think this match will be completely one sided. Nepal's batsmen will not fare well against Pakistan's experienced bowlers.

Alright people. It's Asia Cup time. It's good to see several new teams in this edition who could actually compete with the top dogs. As usual, India + Lanka + Pak are the strongest, but I hope that there are some unexpected twists.
Am expecting Sri Lanka to win this edition which is an extremely early prediction. Whoever wins will have a great advantage in the upcoming WC.
In my view, the possibility is very low for Sri Lanka to win the Asia cup again in this year. Both Pakistan and India are strong, and I'm expecting one of them to win the Asia cup. Nepal is the only new team in this Asia cup. Hong Kong was the new team in the 2022. They were in the same group of India and Pakistan, and the new team Nepal has replaced them. I believe Nepal will loss the both matches with big margin.
It is foolish to make predictions before the game starts. It is true that Nepal is a bit weaker than all the other teams. But it would not be right to consider Nepal as such an insignificant team. You may have noticed the matches of Nepal team, Nepal plays much better now than before. 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. Now when the Asia Cup starts, it will be understood how well any team can play
Pakistan and India are two of the top ODI teams in ODI cricket whereas Nepal is one of the bottom ODI cricket team so the difference will be that everyone is expecting Nepal to go out of the tournament without winning a match. If it was a T20 tournament then Nepal had some chance to win but since it is played in ODI format it is very difficult for Nepal to win against India or Pakistan. It is very difficult but impossible for Nepal to win against India and Pakistan, but if Nepal performs well and if India or Pakistan do not play at their best, then Nepal will definitely have a chance to win any of the Asia Cup matches. Even if Nepal can't win a match, Nepal fans will be happy with Nepal's performance because Nepal has performed well recently and they have been doing great in cricket recently.

I guess today they updated their Asia cup squad as 3-4 first choice players struggling with the injuries including the likes of Hasaranga.

If these injury reports are true then it's clearly a big setback for Sri Lanka and they could struggle in the tournament. An unexpected twist would be Nepal winning the cup  Grin but i won't mind if there is a new winner.
Damn it. I already placed an outrights bet on Sri Lanka to win the tournament. No hasaranga is truly a big blow, but I feel that they can still manage somehow though their chances definitely decreased.

Also, Nepal winning would give me flashbacks of Kenya winning against way bigger teams in the past. Chances of that happening are 0.00001%.
Well, in 2018 too they were short a few players due to injuries but they still managed to win the T-20 Asia Cup. Although the format is completely different so chances are slim but anything is possible in cricket.

Nepal is not winning any match tho. Powerball might give better odds than this, the best they can do is compete and have fun on the ground.

Yeh absolutely your are right we have no idea how Gona they will perform as it's will be  the first ever match to face Nepal at such a big stage like Asia Cup, no doubt Nepal perform well they beat the previous years qualifiers like Hong Kong and UAE also beat Scotland and namibia during world cup qualify matches which mean they are well prepared and anything can expect from them, just like Baber Azam a Pakistani captain say in his press conference they they will not take Nepal lightly.
Anyway tomorrow they will play first ever match of Asia cup which will be really excited to watch as we will have to see Asia cup opening ceremony too, let's see how baber XI will face such a new challenge like Nepal.

Am expecting Sri Lanka to win this edition which is an extremely early prediction. Whoever wins will have a great advantage in the upcoming WC.
Tomorrow 30th August Start of Asia Cup 2023 in Pakistan. Opening match between Pakistan vs Nepal are played in Multan Cricket Stadium. Pakistan is a very strong and favourite team to win this Asia Cup because recently they are the No 1 Rank Odi team in the world. I think the match between Pakistan and Nepal is on my side and Pakistan will win this match easily because Nepal has no experience in ODI cricket. Both Pakistan and India are very strong teams in world cricket and Nepal is a New team thatwhy no chance of winning against Pakistan and India. Pakistan also home advantage and the best bowling and batting attack Pakistan has a 97% chance of winning first match of the Asia Cup.

Tomorrow match will be interesting one and Pakistan will be happy to play Asia cup first match in their home ground. Nepal t2o performance is improved little but I don't they will be able to face Pakistani NO. 1 bowling attack. Pakistan has many advantage in playing their home ground. Recent clean sweep to Afghanistan to become no.1 ranking in ODI will further strong Pakistani players faith.

Pakistan is also my favorite team for Asia cup and world cup but other teams are also in great form and anything can be happened and one bad games in last qualifying match can out you from the competition.

The 2023 Asian Cup will be held from 31 August to 17 September and it is true that a new team will compete in the annual Asian Cup (ACC).
What is very clear is the performance of the top teams who always dominate in every event such as India and Pakistan, these two teams have always been sworn enemies not only in the Asian Cup but also in the ODI World Cup.
India and Pakistan always bring big surprises in the world of cricket and they have matches that everyone always looks forward to when it comes to the Asian Cup or ODI World Cup.

Bruv, I would absolutely lose it if Nepal actually ended up winning the Asia cup. But I don’t think that is going to happen anyway. I believe it will be India or Pakistan winning the Asia cup this time. Don’t think Sri Lanka will be winning.  But they might be able to reach the semifinals probably. I definitely think that India is the strongest right now. Pakistan will definitely try to make a mark in this tournament by winning.

I am also hearing that Sri Lanka is definitely facing some problems with injuries. This is definitely going to be bad for Sri Lanka. It’s a psychological blow for them as well.

Nepal is going to participate in the Asia Cup tournament for the first time. The first match of Asia Cup will be Pakistan vs Nepal, we can enjoy the match tomorrow. The match between Nepal and Pakistan does not seem to be full of competition. Pakistan's bowling line and batting line are both better than Nepal. Also, the match will be at Pakistan's home ground so Pakistan will get more support. I think as a percentage Pakistan has 90% chance of winning, Nepal 10%.
Pakistan's first tournament against Nepal will not be very intense as Pakistan is a much stronger team than Nepal. And Nepal is not very strong Pakistan is strong enough in all aspects than Nepal and they will play better match winning man. Both Pakistan's batting and bowling can provide very good service but Nepal will not be able to perform so well with them. Moreover, if you look at the betting odds of different gambling platforms, you can understand the percentage of chances of a team to win, but there is no doubt that Pakistan will win the match. And Pakistan will win the first match of Asia Cup with great ease, it is natural that Pakistan will play well as a strong team against Nepal.
Yup Pakistan is much stronger then Nepal even googe also suggest Pakistan winning possibility is 98% and nepal has only 2% lol. Pakistan's match with Nepal was not fair.  It was necessary to play another good team against Pakistan.  Because it is boring to watch a match when only one team plays well and the other team loses the match badly. A match is not fun to watch if there is no tight fighting. And two equally strong teams are needed for a tense encounter match

You cannot ignore any of the three teams Afghanistan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka because recently there were three ODI matches between Pakistan and Afghanistan where Afghanistan had a great performance in the second match. Rahmanullah Gurbaz scored 151 runs in the opening pair to give 310 runs plus the target but Pakistan's outstanding performance in that match led to a dramatic 1-wicket win in the last over. However, although the batting line of Afghanistan is relatively weak than the batting line of Bangladesh, the bowling line is quite strong.  However, in the case of Sri Lanka, I cannot comment on Sri Lanka as several players are out of the squad due to injuries. Sri Lanka is in no way inferior to Afghanistan and Bangladesh.

Afghanistan cricket is improving day by day and the way they are going very soon they will be at level of India and Pakistan. We saw in last series that when Afghan bowlers played there part it was there batting that collapsed (1st ODI) and when batsmen gave huge target the bowling fail to defend that target (second ODI). I think Afghanistan with experience will overcome there shortcoming and will emerge as strong side.

Not even these teams we can't underestimate any team because anyone can perform well and can come up with great grace and can show it's hidden power. And one is the new team in the Asia Cup. That is Nepal so we should keep an eye on this team too. If I remember Nepal is participating second time and the first wasn't able to play. But this is its first time so anything can be happened.
Underestimating is not right because right now difference of quality is widening between top two teams and other three teams as we can check their performances I am feeling not comfortable with these three team's quality and performance they are going down badly in last few months specially Sri Lanka and Bangladesh both are having not positive change which is really sad with both boards are also not interesting to have changes which improve their quality and also having good cricketing minds.

Afghanistan is far from these things as they need some change of mind as well they are having few quality players but as team their performance is also going down which is concern for them and their management but sadly right now we have no chance for the improvement as ground realities are also not favoring them.
