India will aim to maintain their unbeaten record and secure a spot in the Asia Cup semifinals when they face Nepal in their final group match on Tuesday. Led by Harmanpreet Kaur, India has dominated their previous games, winning against Pakistan by 7 wickets and UAE by 78 runs. They will look to continue this strong form against Nepal.
Nepal, however, is on the brink of elimination after a heavy loss to Pakistan, which has significantly impacted their run rate, leaving it at -0.819. To advance, Nepal would need a substantial victory over India, but given the formidable nature of the Women in Blue, this appears to be a tall order. Nepal did secure a win over UAE but their hopes rest on a dramatic turnaround against India. However, overcoming a top-ranked team like India would require an exceptional performance.
The pitch has proven to be favorable for batting, allowing top-order batters to accumulate runs with relative ease. Bowlers can pose challenges to the batsmen if they bowl in the right areas.
The match between India and Nepal in the Women's Asia Cup will be broadcast on the Star Sports Network. Live streaming will be available on Disney+ Hotstar.
