00:00 India defeated Nepal by 10 wickets via DLS method in a rain-affected last-group stage

00:08 match in Asia Cup 2023 in Pallekele.

00:12 The Indians were set a revised target of 145 in 23 overs as rain delayed the second innings

00:18 for nearly two hours soon after the Rohit Sharma led side began their run chase of 231.

00:24 The men in blue thus overhauled the target in 20.4 overs without any loss and joined

00:30 Pakistan in the super force from Group A.

00:33 Captain Rohit Sharma and his young opening partner Shubman Gill scored brilliant half

00:38 centuries in the run chase and scored 74 and 67 not out respectively.

00:44 The duo shared their third-century stand in the ODIs before taking their team home without

00:50 any hiccups as they tormented Nepalese bowlers at will.

00:54 Rohit's knock-off 74 was studded with five sixes and the Indian captain was also named

01:00 the player of the match.

01:01 Despite loss, Nepal bowlers should take a lot of confidence from this game as they started

01:06 their target defence on a bright note and even troubled Rohit Sharma in the first over

01:12 before the skies opened up.

01:14 Once the match resumed with a revised target, the outfield was wet, making it tough for

01:18 the bowlers to grip the ball properly.

01:21 Earlier in the day, after winning the toss, India elected to bowl first against Nepal.

01:27 The opposition batters made most of the early reprieves, courtesy of sloppy fielding from

01:32 the Indians, and shared an opening stand of 65.

01:36 Medium baser Shahdul Thakur provided India with the first breakthrough in the 10th over

01:41 and Indians started pulling things back from then on.

01:44 Batter Asif Shaikh slammed a quick-fire 50 and laid foundation for a decent total for

01:49 his team after the opening partner's departure.

01:53 Middle-order batter Sompal Kami also scored a quick-fire 48 and provided a late impetus

02:00 to his team as he got some support from the other lower-order batters.

02:04 Kami took Nepal past the 200-run mark by stitching crucial partnerships in the death overs.

02:11 He was the eighth wicket to fall when his innings was ended by Shammi in the 48th over.

02:17 Soon his team was bundled out for 230 in 48.2 overs.
