Asia Cup 2023 / What will be Pakistan's playing-11 against Nepal? announced

Asia Cup 2023: Pakistan cricket team has announced its playing-11 for the first match of Asia Cup-2023 to be played against Nepal on Wednesday, 30 August. Pakistan has selected its strong team for this match. After being in front of a team like Nepal, it seemed that the team can give rest to its important players, but in this playing-11, Pakistan has selected all its big players. The Asia Cup-2023 will begin with the match between Pakistan and Nepal. This match will be played at Multan Cricket Stadium.

Usually the Pakistan team does not announce its playing-11 a day before but this time it has done so. Pakistan has not won the Asia Cup since 2012. Last year this team also reached the final but could not win and lost to Sri Lanka.

All three fast bowlers included

Pakistan has the best fast bowling attack of the present time. This team has Shaheen Shah Afridi, Haris Rauf, Naseem Shah. All three are part of the playing-11 against Nepal. Playing these three can prove to be very troublesome for Nepal's batsmen. Naseem and Haris are famous for their stormy bowling, while left-arm bowler Shaheen is famous for his swing. Nepal's batting is considered very weak and in such a situation it has to be seen how they face these three. At the same time, there are two spinners in the team in the form of Mohammad Nawaz and vice-captain Shadab Khan.

This is the batting order

On the other hand, if Pakistan's batting order is seen, everyone's eyes will be on Captain Babar Azam. Fakhar Zaman and Imam-ul-Haq will open the innings. Babar can bat at number three. After him comes wicketkeeper Mohammad Rizwan. Iftikhar Ahmed, Salman Ali Agha and Shadab will have the responsibility of handling the middle order and lower order.
