Asian Cup 2023: India is going to compete with Nepal in the Asia Cup. Before this, Team India has played a match against Pakistan. But due to rain, this match could not be completed. The weather is going to be bad in Kandy even today. In such a situation, the question arises that what will happen if the match between India and Nepal is also canceled due to rain? Apart from Pakistan in Group A, which team from India and Nepal will be able to make it to the next round? Or if India is unable to register a win against Nepal as well, will there be any other option to reach the next round?
There is a possibility of rain in Kandy on Monday as well. In such a situation, all these big questions must be arising in the minds of the Indian fans before the match against Nepal. However, a big relief for the fans is that Nepal has lost its first match against Pakistan. That’s why this match is more of do or die for Nepal than for India. If this match is canceled due to rain, then Team India will get two points and it will easily get a place in the next round. In such a situation, Nepal will remain at the last position with one point.
Why is victory important at all costs
Now coming to the second question. If rain does not become a villain in the second match, then this match will be do or die for India as well. India will have to win this match at any cost to make it to the next round. If India wins this match, then it will have three points and it will become the second team after Pakistan to qualify for the next round from Group A. But in case of losing the match, Team India will have one point, while Nepal will have two points. In such a situation, Nepal will get a place in the next round.
In the event of losing the match, Team India will have no other option to reach the next round. Two groups of three teams each have been made in the Asia Cup. The teams of both the teams have to play only two matches in the first round. Since Team India is playing the last match of the group stage and after that there is no chance left.
