🏏Asia Cup 2023: M5: India vs Nepal in SL on 04/09/2023 at 3PM IST 🏏 - Page 61

Chalo. Thank god. Inke fielding ka kuch karo Warna World Cup mei jaldi hi dukaan band karna pdega 😅😂

The rain tried its best to play spoilsport again but we did get a game thanks to the groundstaff. The second innings was reduced to 23 overs and the revised target for India was 145. Rohit and Gill had already scored 17 from 2.1 overs when rain interrupted the chase and once play resumed, the pair took their time and then unleashed. Rohit saw off the pacers Karan and Komi and then took a liking towards the spinners. He got to his fifty off just 38 balls while Gill got to his off 47. It was a nice outing for the duo as they chased the target with 17 balls to spare. Nepal tried their best but India's superiority was just too much to handle for them. Stick around for the presentations..

Shubman Gill: "Quite disappointed with the way I got out day before yesterday. Important that I finished it off tonight with Rohit bhai, and we did it. He likes to take the bowlers on aerial, and I like to hit more boundaries than sixes, so we complement each other."

Rohit Paudel: "Our openers did a very good job for us. In the middle order we could have done better. We were maybe 30-40 short. If we had done better in that phase, we could have got 260-270. In the last 4-5 months our lower order has done a great job, we are very proud of them. I think in these conditions it was really hard because of the dew, but our bowlers did really well."

10 & 9 wkts win in ODI
