India vs Nepal: What happens if the Asia Cup 2023 match is washed out due to rain?
There’s a high chance of rain washing out the India vs Nepal game on Monday in Asia Cup 2023. As per the weather forecast, there’s a 60% chance of rain in Pallekele, Kandy in Sri Lanka where the match will be played.
India’s first Group A game in Asia Cup 2023 against Pakistan was also washed out due to rain. India batted first in the match against arch-rivals Pakistan and were bowled out for 266 in 48.5 overs, but the chase never got underway as rains played spoilsport at Pallekele.
India would hope to get a full game in their last group match against Nepal, but if rain washes out the game, then points will be split between the two teams.
India who already have one point from the Pakistan game will move to two points in case the Nepal game is washed out and this will be enough for Men in Blue to reach the Super Fours.
Nepal are currently on zero points after losing their first match against Pakistan.
Nepal can only reach the Super Fours with a victory over India on Monday while for India, only one point is enough.
Rohit Sharma’s side will also qualify for Super Fours if they beat Nepal.
LIVE streaming: The India vs Nepal Asia Cup match will be telecast on Star Sports Network and Disney+ Hotstar.
