Pakistan are coming into this match on the back of a clinical performance against Afghanistan in a three-match ODI series. They will be looking at this tournament as a preparation ground for the World Cup 2023 while eyeing a third Asia Cup title.

Babar Azam led team will try to put on a strong display in the very first match and announce their early arrival.

Nepal, on the other hand, have been a competitive team in the recent past. However, with the cricketing class in Pakistan's repertoire, they will be happy if they can evade Pakistan's victory until the 80th or 90th over of the game.
