Spilled catches and bowling that lacked sting, temper India’s 10 wkt win over Nepal in Asia Cup

For a second successive match in the space of three days, with exactly one month to go for the World Cup, India showed they are still a fair distance away from being a well-oiled machine. Facing Nepal in their second Group B match of the Asia Cup in Pallekele, where the Sri Lanka leg continues to be battered by rain, India’s bowling lacked the bite and finesse and their fielding was so error-prone, they allowed Nepal to put 230 runs on board, taking 48.3 overs to bowl them out. Not even a 10-wicket win could hide their below-par performance with the ball. The exasperated face of captain Rohit Sharma in the end told a thousand stories. Not even a good batting effort, where India chased down the revised target of 145 in 23 overs (DLS method) with 17 balls to spare and 10 wickets in hand, ...

Asia Cup 2023 | India breezes past Nepal on rainy day, joins Pakistan in the Super 4s

A heavy downpour in the lead-up to the game rendered the outfield at the Pallekele International Cricket Stadium sluggish. The pitch was on the slower side, too. But India’s fielding and catching was sloppier than the conditions as Nepal tallied a respectable 230 before being bowled out in the penultimate over in a must-win Asia Cup clash for both teams. But when it came to a rain-curtailed chase, India’s openers were far from sloppy. Captain Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill dominated Nepal’s bowling attack as the Men in Blue overhauled the revised target of 145 in 23 overs with 17 balls to spare. Had it not been for the groundstaff’s stupendous effort, India’s reply would not have been possible after two heavy showers. Once the openers resumed at 17 for no loss in 2.1 overs, they were uns...
