IND vs NEP Asia Cup 2023: Pallekele International Cricket Stadium Pitch, Venue Stats, Record, Average Score

It will be a game between two opposite poles as the mighty India will square off against the minnows Nepal in the 5th match of the Asia Cup 2023. India’s game against Pakistan was washed out because of rain and now they have to win this game to qualify for the Super 4.

On the other hand, Nepal got a proper beating by the hands of Pakistan in their opening game and they will be eager to improve against India to show their calibre at the highest level. While a win for them would be considered an over-ambitious target, they will be eager to impress everyone by troubling India with their game.

Pallekele Pitch Report

Pallekele International Cricket Stadium has continuously produced good sporting surfaces so far in the Asia Cup 2023. The wicket is dry and hard bound together by dry grass. However, the bowlers are also getting some help off the surface as the ball is stopping a bit and batters are not finding it easy to time the ball. But, the wicket gets better to bat on under the lights and runs come more easily than during the daytime.
