LIVE IND vs NEP Asia Cup 2023 score: Shubman Gill After Finding Form
"Quite disappointed with the way I got out day before yesterday. It was important for me to finish the game along with Rohit bhai and we did that. He (Rohit) is the kind of player who likes to take the bowlers on aerial. I am the kind of player like to hit more boundaries than aerial. That combination works quite well for us. They bowled very well with the new ball, they challenged us. We knew once the ball gets wet, it'll get easier for the batsmen. That's what the talk was in the dressing room."

LIVE IND vs NEP Asia Cup 2023 score: Match Summary
Despite the persistent rain threatening to disrupt the game, the groundstaff's efforts ensured we had a match. The second innings was shortened to 23 overs, with India's revised target set at 145. Rohit and Gill had already accumulated 17 runs from 2.1 overs before rain briefly halted proceedings. Upon the resumption of play, the duo paced themselves and then unleashed their attacking prowess. Rohit initially handled the pacers, Karan and Komi, before taking a liking to the spinners. He reached his fifty in just 38 balls, while Gill achieved his milestone in 47 balls. It was a successful outing for both batsmen as they comfortably chased down the target with 17 balls to spare. Despite Nepal's valiant efforts, India's dominance proved insurmountable.

LIVE IND Vs NEP Asia Cup 2023 score: 23 overs game
The umpires stride purposefully onto the field for the inspection, engaging in a brief conversation with the curator before swiftly returning. They will now convey this information to both team captains. It appears that Paul Wilson is holding a piece of paper, likely indicating the revised DLS score. The breaking news is that play is set to resume at 22:15 local time, with a total of 23 overs remaining in the match.
4 September 2023, 21:47 PM
LIVE IND vs NEP Asia Cup 2023 score: Game Likely To Be Called Off
There is a small window of opportunity for us to witness some cricket action. As per the curator's assessment, he requires a 30-minute window. At 10 o'clock, there is a possibility that they might make the ground available for inspection. In order to have a game, we must initiate play by 10:20, allowing India 20 overs to bat. Failure to begin by 10:20 would result in the match being canceled. The absolute cutoff time for the game is 11:36.
