Here's how Nepal gearing up for India clash:

Ahead of his side's Asia Cup clash against India, Nepal coach Monty Desai said that previous generations of Nepal cricket dreamt of a day when their team will play against big Test-playing nations and now that it has come true, the team will back its strengths when it has been presented with a good chance to carve their identity.

 

India will take on Nepal in their Asia Cup clash at Kandy. In Group A, Pakistan qualified for the Super Four stage with three points following a win over Nepal and a washout against arch-rivals India, which caused them to share a point each. Now India (1 point) and Nepal (0 points) have to win this match to qualify for the Super Four stage.

 

"Every generation (of Nepal Cricket) had a dream that one day they will play with big nations...Today their dream is coming true," the coach told ANI.

 

"We have played the League 2 matches and Asia Cup qualifiers matches. We have won them. We will back our strengths against India," he added.

Asia Cup 2023, India vs Nepal LIVE SCORE: Javagal Srinath to officiate in 250th ODI as Match Referee today

Former pacer Javagal Srinath will be officiating in his 250th ODI as ICC Match Referee during India's Asia Cup match against Nepal today.

 

Srinath will become only the fourth ICC Match Referee to achieve the milestone after Ranjan Madugalle, Chris Broad and Jeff Crowe.

 

"It feels great to be reaching this milestone as a match referee. It's been 17 years on the circuit for me, and quite unbelievable that I have now officiated in more ODIs than I played," Srinath said in an ICC release.

 

"I am privileged to be still associated with the game. I have had a wonderful run since my international debut as match referee in a Test match between Sri Lanka and South Africa in Colombo back in 2006 and will strive to do my best in the coming years," said the former India pacer.

Asia Cup 2023, India vs Nepal PREVIEW

Coming off a washout, India would hope they only have greenhorns Nepal to tackle and not rain as the heavyweights eye a berth in the Super Four of the Asia Cup.
 

From Group A, Pakistan have already qualified to the Super Four with 3 points, and India have one point from the washed-out game against their arch-rivals on Saturday.

Even in the event of another rain-marred match on the morrow, India can advance to the Super Four with two points, but Rohit Sharma's men will certainly not want it that way.

India received some encouraging signals from their match against Pakistan, and they would want to build on them ahead of the business end of this tournament and much sterner assays in the waiting.
