Nepal are favorites to win
Maldives will take on Nepal in the 7th match of the Asian Games. The match will be played at the Pingfeng Campus Cricket Field and will start at 6:30 AM IST
The pitch has nothing on offer for the bowlers. It is on the slower side so run scoring isn't easy either. However, if a batter is set and used to the pace, run-scoring is easy.
Read on for team previews, betting tips, latest odds, and match prediction for Maldives vs Nepal, Asian Games 2023
Maldives defeated Mongolia in the first game. Maldives are not playing a full strength squad as the main players are taking part in the T20 World Cup Sub Regional Asia Qualifiers. The team will have to punch above their weight to beat Nepal. However, even the best performance might not be enough for Maldives.
The batting will rest on the shoulders of Azin Rafeeq and Hassan Rasheed. The batters scored 24 and 21 against Mongolia. However, it will be interesting to see how they fare against a strong Nepal bowling attack. Ismail Ali is another batter to watch out for.
Azin Rafeeq will also be the team’s best bowler. He picked three wickets against Mongolia. Also, Ryan Tholai and Naseer Ismail are good picks for wickettakers.
Maldives have struggled to put on a show against stronger teams and they will have to pull off a miracle to beat Nepal.

Nepal is the strongest team of the group and should have no difficulty in getting past Maldives. The team shattered records en route to a 273 run win over Mongolia in the opening game. They broke the record of highest team score in T20Is, fastest century in the format and fastest T20I fifty in the same game.
Kushal Malla, Dipendra Singh Airee and Rohit Paudel will be the batters to watch out for. Kushal Malla scored a century in last game and broke Rohit Sharma's record of fastest century. Airee also created a unique record and smashed fifty in just nine balls. Rohit Paudel is also a top batter and will be keen to come good.
Nepal's bowling will depend on Karan KC and Sandeep Lamichhane. Both the top bowlers bagged two wickets against Mongolia. Gulsan Jha is also a good wicket-taking option
Nepal failed to perform in Asia Cup but they have been remarkable against associate teams, winning the ACC Premier Cup. They can be brutal against weaker teams as they showed in the game against Mongolia.

Nepal will start as strong favourites. The team defeated Mongolia by a huge margin of 273 runs and broke several records, including the highest score in the T20I game. Nepal scored 314 runs, with Kusal Malla scoring century and Dipendra Singh Airee making 50 in 9 balls. Maldives look bleak against Nepal and don’t seem to have enough quality to surprise them. For us, Nepal are favourites.
