The opening match of the much-awaited Asia Cup 2023, between Pakistan vs Nepal, will take place on Wednesday in Multan.
Pakistan and Sri Lanka will co-host the Asia Cup this year from August 30 to September 17.
After last year’s Twenty20 format, this tournament will return to the traditional 50-over format.
Pakistan captain Babar Azam claimed his team’s recent 3-0 ODI series triumph over Afghanistan will ‘inspire’ them and provide them momentum going into the Asia Cup.

Even if Nepal is eliminated before the Super 4 round, facing up against India and Pakistan will be a momentous occasion.
