IND vs NEP T20 Match Prediction & Betting Tips, Asian Games 2023
India will take on Nepal in the first Quarter final of the Asian Games. The match will be played at the Pingfeng Campus Cricket Ground and will start at 6:30 AM IST
India will take on Nepal in the first quarterfinal of the Asian Games. India faced Nepal in the Asia Cup as well and registered a comprehensive win. However, India’s team is completely different for the Asian Games. The main team is bust with the World Cup and a second string team will take part in the Asian Games. Still, India are a strong contender to bag a gold medal in cricket. The team is laced with quality players like Ruturaj Gaikwad, Rinku Singh, Tilak Varma, Washington Sundar, Ravi Bishnoi among others.
Nepal, on the other hand, have been top notch in the two games they played. They decimated records against Mongolia and picked up an easy win against Maldives. However, the wins don’t carry any weightage as beating the Indian team won’t be an easy thing to do.

India Team News & Playing 11
IND Team News
India have sent a second string team for the Asian games as all the senior players are with the Indian team for the ODI World Cup. Ruturaj Gaikwad has been handed the responsibility of leading the team.
IND Key Players
- Ruturaj Gaikwad – Gaikwad has done well in IPL and domestic cricket, however, he is yet to break through the Indian team. However, a good show in Asian games will open doors for his inclusion, at least in the T20Is.
- Tilak Varma – Tilak Varma has impressed a lot in his short career. He has played seven T20Is, scoring 174 runs. Given the talent he possesses, he is assumed to be the next big thing in cricket. Asian games will be a great opportunity for him to grab some eyeballs.
- Ravi Bishnoi - A high quality spinner that is a genuine wicket taker. Reading Bishnoi won’t be easy for Nepal batters and there is every chance of him running through the Nepal team.
IND Team Form
This is a new look team India as senior players are missing. The players have not played together as a team but are quality performers and are expected to do well in Asian Games.

Nepal have comprehensively won both their games in Asian Games. Karan KC is likely to return to the Nepal team for the India game.
NEP Key Players

- Rohit Paudel – Nepal captain Rohit Paudel will have to do well with the bat. Paudel is technically sound and can tackle the likes of Sundar and Bishnoi in middle overs. He will be key with the bat.
