00:00 Pakistan cricket team started their campaign in the Asia Cup 2023 with an emphatic 238

00:13 run win over Nepal.

00:15 Playing their first match of the competition at Multan Cricket Stadium, Pakistani bowlers

00:20 once again showed why they are a force to be reckoned with in this format.

00:24 Chasing a mammoth 343-run target, Nepal were bundled out for 104 in 23.4 overs.

00:31 Pacer Shaheen Shahafridi started things off with the ball for Pakistan as he picked up

00:36 a couple of wickets in the first over.

00:38 Later, Naseem Shah struck early in his spell too to push Nepal on the back foot.

00:44 Nepal looked to build a partnership between Sompal Kami and Arif Shaikh but they had no

00:49 response against the brute pace of Harish Rauf.

00:52 Arif Shaikh and Sompal Kami were the top-run scorers for Nepal in what was the country's

00:57 Asia Cup debut.

00:58 Harish Rauf's quick bursts soon after the first power play ensured wickets kept tumbling

01:04 for Nepal.

01:05 Later, leg-spinner Shadab Khan cleaned up the tail to end with the figures of 4 for

01:10 27 and gave Pakistan a handsome win.

01:13 Earlier, electing to bat first at the glorious Multan Stadium, Pakistan faced a rocky start

01:19 losing their openers Imamul Haq and Fakhar Zaman early in the innings.

01:23 However, their captain Babar Azam rose to the occasion with a delightful knock of 151

01:29 runs.

01:30 This was the second-highest score in the Asia Cup history.

01:32 Babar's masterclass included two crucial partnerships, an 86-run stand with Mohd.

01:38 Rizwan who scored 44 of 50 balls, followed by a whirlwind partnership of 214 runs for

01:44 the fifth wicket with Iftikhar Ahmed who remained unbeaten at 109 from just 71 deliveries.

01:52 The Pakistani captain decorated his innings with 14 fours and four sixes.

01:56 Meanwhile, Iftikhar showcased his destructive best by striking 11 boundaries and four massive

02:02 hits over the fence.

02:04 This came after Pakistan had made an unimpressive start.

02:08 Their opener Zaman failed to carry on after showing initial intent while Imamul Haq was

02:14 found short of crease due to a direct hit from Nepal's captain Rohit Podel.

02:19 Babar then partnered with wicketkeeper Rabatar Rizwan, stabilising Pakistan's innings.

02:24 Despite their slow start, they kept the scoreboard ticking, eventually bringing up Team Century

02:30 in the 22nd over.
