India beat Nepal by 10 wickets

A similar rain danger loomed over India's debut match against Nepal in international cricket at the same location two days after the Pakistan-India game was called off in Pallekele on Saturday due to inclement weather.  Then, to disrupt Nepal's celebration and advance India to the Super Fours stage, Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill dazzled with an unbroken 147-run opening combination. From this group, Pakistan has already advanced to the next level. However, Nepal's supporters had many reasons to rejoice in the afternoon, particularly after Aasif Sheikh scored a respectable half-century. 

Kushal Bhurtel's smooth strokeplay in the powerplay and Sompal Kami's powerful smashes in the slog overs served as the bookends for Aasif's innings. Mohammed Siraj took three wickets as well, but he was expensive and allowing 61 runs in just 9.2 overs. Kuldeep Yadav remained without a wicket as Mohammed Shami, Hardik Pandya, and Shardul Thakur each returned with one.
