India vs Nepal Live: India win!
A boundary down fine-leg and India have won the match comprehensively. A 10-wicket win in this rain-curtailed game and they are through to the Super 4 stage. What a performance and this will be a big boost to them ahead of the rematch against Pakistan.
This has been a good batting performance from India and this was much needed after the top order collapse against Pakistan. While the opposition was not as tough, a good show at this ground will surely boost their morale.
It is a fifty for Shubman Gill as well. What an innings and what a confidence boost for the youngster. India are looking too comfortable in this run chase.
Shubman Gill is now on the offensive as he nears his half-century. Both India openers have looked in tremendous form and both deserve to add fifties to their names.
A six and a boundary and it is vintage Rohit Sharma! Clean hitting from the India skipper and Nepal have no counter to this onslaught. He moves into the 40s and remarkable batting.
New spinner introduced into the attack and it is Dipendra Singh Airee. Faster than the other two but he was not able to get the breakthrough that Nepal need right now. Cautious approach taken by the India batters.
Lalit Rajbanshi has bowled well till now but he is no match to the tremendous form that Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill has shown in this game. Gill got any boundary and India are well on their way to victory it seems.
Sandeep Lamichhane into the attack and a perfect welcome from Rohit Sharma. An almost flawless boundary followed by a huge six that came dangerously close to a fielder.
Another slow over but the Indian batters are cautious to not play any dangerous shots. 33 for no loss after 6 overs and although there is not much danger, they will surely look to accelerate at this point.
A crunching boundary off Karan KC and Shubman Gill has made his intentions clear. A good start to the innings as India are 31 for no loss after 5 overs.
While the match is heavily tilting towards India, this will not be an easy chase. The conditions will help the bowlers and the time bound nature of the game may end up putting the batters under pressure.
India's revised target is 145. Good news for Nepal as they have a good chance to put up a fight. However, it is of course advantage Rohit Sharma and Co!
The umpires want to start the game by 10:20 PM and it will have to be completed by 11:36 PM. Next inspection at 10 PM but it does not look very hopeful.
Umpires out in the middle for inspection but some of the covers are being removed. However, it seems like the field will take some time to get ready for the game.
There's some bad news coming from Kandy as the rain gets heavier and the ground has been fully covered. There's no confirmation regarding the start of the play. Stay tuned for all the live updates.
The covers have been brought back as the rain has halted the play once again. India's score read at 17/0 in 3.1 overs with Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill standing unbeaten at the crease against Nepal.
After a tough start in the first over, Team India gain momentum as Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill start dealing in boundaries. In the previous over, Gill smashes three boundaries off Sompal Kami's delivery as the pacer leaks 12 runs.
Hello and welcome back to the second innings of the Asia Cup 2023 match between India and Nepal. Chasing 231 in 50 overs, India scored 1 run in the first over with Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill standing unbeaten at the crease.
Mohammed Siraj clean bowled Lalit Rajbanshi as India bundled out Nepal for 230. For Nepal, Aasif Sheikh scored 58 while Sompal Kami scored 48. For India, Ravindra Jadeja and Mohammed Siraj scalped three wickets each.
OUT!!! India get another breakthrough as Sandeep Lamichhane gets run out for 9. Axar Patel makes a brilliant effort as India easily dismiss Lamichhane. Ninth wicket gone for Nepal.
OUT!!! Mohammed Shami spoils the effort of Sompal Kami and dismisses him for 48. The ball hits the edge of the bat as wicketkeeper Ishan Kishan takes an excellent catch behind the stumps. No fifty for Sompal Kami as Nepal lose their eighth wicket.
Nepal have finally found their way back into the game as Sompal Kami has started dealing in boundaries. In the previous over of Mohammed Siraj, he and Sandeep Lamichhane score 11 runs, which include a six from Kami. With this, Kami is inching closer towards his third half-century.
India have performed miserably on the field in today's match. After dropping three sitters, the Rohit Sharma-led side once again displayed their poor fielding as they leaked three additional runs in over-throw. Nepal batters Sandeep Lamichhane and Sompal Kami need to make the most of this opportunity.
Despite the dismissal of Dipendra Singh Airee, Nepal managed to gain some momentum in the game with the partnership between Sompal Kami and Sandeep Lamichhane. Nepal have now gone past the 200-run mark and will look to end their innings with a good total in the remaining overs.
OUT!!! Hardik Pandya has provided Team India with their breakthrough as he dismissed Dipendra Singh Airee for 29. Hardik strikes directly on the pads of Airee as the on-field umpire signals out. Seventh wicket gone for Nepal.
Hardik Pandya bowls yet another excellent over and controls the flow of runs. In the previous over, he leaks only one run as Dipendra Singh and Sompal Kami struggle to get a boundary. On the other hand, the Nepal batters aim to get some momentum in the game.
The covers have been taken off the field and the ground inspection time is announced as 6:30 PM. Stay tuned for the live updates about the India vs Nepal match.
