Aasif Sheikh of Nepal pondered on the events of the first inning at the mid-innings break and said:
“It got off to a good start, and I was hoping to make the most of it and play till the 40th over, but that didn’t happen. Although 230 is still a respectable score and we should be able to defend it, we were hoping to reach the 240-250 range.”
Following their experience from batting first, Sheikh also discussed their strategies against India’s batting. He stated:
“We recognize that playing India is a significant test for us, but we have confidence in our ability to consistently play excellent cricket and intend to build on this success in the games to come.”
