Meanwhile, Pakistan will face Nepal in the Asia Cup opener in Lahore. The Babar Azam-led side come into the series on the back of a stunning win over Afghanistan in the ODI series. Pakistan did manage to beat the Afghans but their batting struggled against the Afghanistan spinners. The hosts cannot take Nepal lightly, who have a good team at their disposal.

Pakistan vs Nepal Asia Cup 1st ODI Multan Pitch Report
The pitch in Multan will be flat and great for run scoring. The ball will come on nicely and there will be very little lateral movement with the new ball. There may be some reverse swing late in the innings but good line and length will be key to success.
