Nepal and India will be facing each other in their second match of the ongoing Asia Cup at Pallekele International Cricket Stadium in Kandy on Monday.

Nepal are coming back after a huge defeat against Pakistan while India shared a point with Pakistan with rain washing out their match.

Nepal will be looking to show an improved performance against strong Indian side. Lack of exposure and experience at the highest level of cricket was clearly seen in Nepal's performance against Pakistan. Having said that, Nepali players have the talent and skill in them and can surprise strong side like India too. The experience Nepali players have got after playing against the top ranked team in their last match will help them a lot when they take the field against India.

The match will be a virtual knockout as the winning team will secure a place in Super Four. India are the obvious favorites to win the match but Indian's won't take a side like Nepal lightly.
