However, India will also progress to the Super 4 stage along with hosts Pakistan even if match No. 5 between India and Nepal is washed out on Monday. India and Nepal will facing off against each other for the first time in international cricket in any format.


India will miss the services of pacer Jasprit Bumrah, who has returned home ahead of Monday’s match for the birth of his first child with wife Sanjana Ganesan. Bumrah is expected to rejoin the Indian squad ahead of Super 4 stage if India progress.


Pacer Mohammed Shami will be expected to return to the ODI squad to replace Bumrah for Monday’s match. India may also look to experiment by bringing in either Suryakumar Yadav or hand a debut to Tilak Varma for this clash against the minnows on Monday.
