00:00 India defeated Nepal by 10 wickets via DLS method in a rain-affected last-group stage
00:08 match in Asia Cup 2023 in Pallekele.
00:12 The Indians were set a revised target of 145 in 23 overs as rain delayed the second innings
00:18 for nearly two hours soon after the Rohit Sharma led side began their run chase of 231.
00:24 The men in blue thus overhauled the target in 20.4 overs without any loss and joined
00:30 Pakistan in the super force from Group A.
00:33 Captain Rohit Sharma and his young opening partner Shubman Gill scored brilliant half
00:38 centuries in the run chase and scored 74 and 67 not out respectively.
00:44 The duo shared their third-century stand in the ODIs before taking their team home without
00:50 any hiccups as they tormented Nepalese bowlers at will.
00:54 Rohit's knock-off 74 was studded with five sixes and the Indian captain was also named
01:00 the player of the match.
01:01 Despite loss, Nepal bowlers should take a lot of confidence from this game as they started
01:06 their target defence on a bright note and even troubled Rohit Sharma in the first over
01:12 before the skies opened up.
01:14 Once the match resumed with a revised target, the outfield was wet, making it tough for
01:18 the bowlers to grip the ball properly.
01:21 Earlier in the day, after winning the toss, India elected to bowl first against Nepal.
01:27 The opposition batters made most of the early reprieves, courtesy of sloppy fielding from
01:32 the Indians, and shared an opening stand of 65.
01:36 Medium baser Shahdul Thakur provided India with the first breakthrough in the 10th over
01:41 and Indians started pulling things back from then on.
01:44 Batter Asif Shaikh slammed a quick-fire 50 and laid foundation for a decent total for
01:49 his team after the opening partner's departure.
01:53 Middle-order batter Sompal Kami also scored a quick-fire 48 and provided a late impetus
02:00 to his team as he got some support from the other lower-order batters.
02:04 Kami took Nepal past the 200-run mark by stitching crucial partnerships in the death overs.
02:11 He was the eighth wicket to fall when his innings was ended by Shammi in the 48th over.
02:17 Soon his team was bundled out for 230 in 48.2 overs.
