Pakistan vs Nepal’s first game:

In the opening match of the 2023 Asia Cup, Pakistan beat Nepal by 238 runs owing to ruthless centuries from Babar Azam and Iftikhar Ahmed.

Leading from the front is Babar Azam, and Captain At his amazing peak, cricketer Babar Azam scored 151 runs. In final results, this is the highest individual score the captain has ever received in the field of play. The Nepali spinners opposing him appeared to have no idea what they were doing as Babar succeeded in scoring his 19th ODI century.

Iftikhar proved the ideal helper Babar required. Pakistan required somebody exceptional using the batting after two early terminations, and Babar and Iftikhar more than fulfilled that requirement. Pakistan scored 342 runs as a result of their efforts in the match against Nepal, allowing the other team to score a brilliant century.

Fakhar Zaman, Pakistan’s opener, only scored 59 runs in the three-match series against Afghanistan, but the team administration stuck him in the match against Nepal. He had been expected to leave a lasting impression against a comparatively poor opponent, but that wasn’t the case and Pakistan now has a major problem in preparation for a few significant tournaments.

Nepal’s team captain Rohit Paudel said: “We started well with the ball, but both set batters took the game away from us. We have batted better before and we missed out today. Wicket taking balls were not there in middle overs, but credit to Babar for the way he batted, credit to Pakistan. Learning from the game would be we need to improve bowling in death overs, as a group we need to step up with the bat”.

Pakistan’s team captain & Player of the Match Babar Azam said: “When I went in, the ball wasn’t coming on properly, so I was trying to build an innings with Rizwan. Then we had a different phase, sometimes Rizwan gave me confidence, sometimes I gave him belief. Iftikhar also played a great innings when he came on. When he came in, I told him to play his natural game and he was comfortable after 2-3 boundaries. A couple of overs we weren’t up to the mark, but the way our pacers started and then the spinners were brilliant. This win will give us the confidence, India Pakistan will always bring high intensity, we will try our best”.
