The first match of the Asia Cup was played between Pakistan and Nepal. In this match, Pakistan captain Babar Azam won the toss and decided to bat first. Fakhar Zaman and Imam-ul-Haq, who came to open from Pakistan, could not do anything special for the team. Both these batsmen lost their wickets veritably quickly. At the same time, Mohammad Rizwan also lost his wicket after scoring 44 runs. The Nepal team fielders performed brilliantly to dismiss these three batsmen.
Nepal did excellent fielding:
Nepal has done great fielding in the match being played against Pakistan. Due to this, the hosts are seen under a lot of pressure. Pakistan lost its first wicket in the form of Fakhar Zaman. Fakhar Zaman lost his wicket after scoring 14 runs. During this, the wicketkeeper of Nepal caught his brilliant catch. Imam-ul-Haq and Mohammad Rizwan also fell prey to Nepal’s superb fielding. Both of them were run out by Nepal. Pakistan could not have expected such great fielding from Nepal. But in their first Asia Cup match, Nepal’s players are trying their best.
