Asia Cup 2023: Just a few more hours before we see the Asia Cup 2023 opening ceremony kicking off at the Multan Cricket Stadium in Pakistan. The opening ceremony will be followed by the opening clash between the hosts, Pakistan and Nepal, who will be making their debut in the six-team Asia Cup 2023. Before the fixture kicks off, here is the Pakistan Playing 11 vs Nepal Playing 11, Asia Cup 2023 Match 01, PAK vs NEP Probable Playing11.

Nepal's men's cricket side has taken giant strides in the world of cricket after getting official recognition in 2018. The team has been on a roll since 2018 and now they have qualified to feature in the table which is mostly ruled by the big-wig Asian teams. 



The Asia Cup 2023 would be Nepal's maiden stint in the coveted six-team continental event, which features India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, and Afghanistan as the other five teams. Nepal got a place of itself after winning the inaugural ACC Men's Premier Cup earlier this year.



The team led by young Rahul Paudel, though, has many bright spots within his group, but facing the likes of Pakistan and India would be an arduous task for them. Nepal is grouped alongside India and Pakistan in Group A of the Asia Cup 2023, which means the team will have to conquer the two aforementioned opponents before heading into the Super 4s.



Meanwhile, Pakistan on the other side, would have their plans all set for the big stage. Babar Azam and his boys seem to be primed up nicely for the Asia Cup 2023 and the subsequent World Cup 2023.



The 17-man squad looks daunting and has many risky elements for the opponents, the Pakistani pacers are one of them. Though batting has been excellent for Pakistan, their main strength lies in their pace bowling lineup which boasts the likes of Shaheen Shah Afridi, Naseem Shah, Haris Rauf and Usama Mir.



As the opening challenge, Pakistan is set to face Nepal at the Multan Cricket Stadium on Wednesday (30th August), which apparently will also be the Asia Cup 2023 opener clash. Below is Pakistan Playing 11 vs Nepal Playing 11, Asia Cup 2023 Match 01, PAK vs NEP Probable Playing11.

Pakistan Playing 11 vs Nepal Playing 11, Asia Cup 2023 Match 01, PAK vs NEP Probable Playing11

pakistan-playing-11-vs-nepal-playing-11-asia-cup-2023-match-01-pak-vs-nep-probable-playing11

AUS vs PAK: Pakistan Playing11: Pakistan has already announced its playing11 for the upcoming 3rd test against Australia on the eve of the New Year test. As per the announced team sheet, Pakistan has decided to rest the premier pacer Shaheen Shah Afridi for the fixture, which begins on January 03 at the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG).



Along with Shaheen Shah Afridi, opening batter Imam ul Haq has also been benched for the 3rd test following three consecutive low scores. 



It's worth noting that Imam played a 62-run knock in the first innings of the opening test at the Perth Stadium, however, his subsequent outings have turned meek and disappointing.



To replace Imam ul Haq, Pakistan has brought in 21-year-old opener Saim Ayub, who will make his debut at the SCG. Ayub has a decent record in List A and FC cricket. He has featured in 8 T20Is so far and has showcased his prowess to play with intent.



In another change, Sajid Khan will replace Shaheen Shah Afridi in Pakistan's playing11 for the 3rd test against Australia. Though he was benched in the first two games, he will get his chance to prove his worth in the Sydney Test.



The remaining combination of the squad has been retained by Pakistan. Saim Ayub and Abdullah Shafique will be the two designated openers followed by captain Shan Masood and senior batter Babar Azam in the pecking order.



Saud Shakeel, Mohammad Rizwan and Salman Ali Agha will form the rest of the middle order. Meanwhile, the bowling department will be handled by Sajid Khan, Hasan Ali, Ali Hamza and Amer Jamal respectively.



Pakistan has already lost the three-game test series against Australia by losing the first two games held at the Perth and MCG. While they lost the first contest by 360 runs, the second test went in the host's favour by 79 runs. While Australia will aim for a clean sweep, Pakistan's bet would be to avoid it anyhow.

PAK vs NZ 1st T20I Dream11 Prediction: While most of the cricket world is busy admiring and experiencing the high octane Indian Premier League (IPL) in India, Pakistan is set to host New Zealand for a T20I series in what can be called a low-key engagement between the two sides. The New Zealand tour of Pakistan for 5 T20Is begins on April 18 with both the sides locking horns against each other in the opening encounter at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium. 



<div class="wp-block-rank-math-toc-block" id="rank-math-toc"><h2>Table of Contents</h2><nav><div><div class=""><a href="#pak-vs-nz-1st-t-20-i-overview">PAK vs NZ 1st T20I Overview</a></div><div class=""><a href="#pak-vs-nz-1st-t-20-i-expected-playing-11">PAK vs NZ 1st T20I Expected Playing11</a></div><div class=""><a href="#pak-vs-nz-1st-t-20-i-full-squad">PAK vs NZ 1st T20I Full Squad</a></div><div class=""><a href="#pak-vs-nz-1st-t-20-i-dream-11-prediction">PAK vs NZ 1st T20I Dream11 Prediction</a></div><div class=""><a href="#pak-vs-nz-1st-t-20-i-captain-vice-captain-picks">PAK vs NZ 1st T20I Captain &amp; Vice-Captain Picks</a></div><div class=""><a href="#rawalpindi-cricket-stadium-pitch-report">Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium Pitch Report</a></div></div></nav></div>



Why we said it a low-key bilateral series is because New Zealand is not at their best as they travel to Pakistan for the T20I series. Most of their prominent T20I batters, who will actually walk into the playing11 anyday, are busy plying their trade in the ongoing IPL 2024. A second string squad has been offered to Pakistan by the New Zealand Cricket Board (NZC), which will be led by Michael Bracewell.



On the other side, Pakistan is on their full strength, at least on paper. Babar Azam has made a comeback in the captians capacity in the T20I side. He will replace Shaheen Shah Afridi, who was given just a solitary series run as the leader of the side.



Pakistan also marks the return of Imad Wasim and Mohammad Amir, who have take a U-turn from their international retirement only with the hopes of playing the upcoming T20 World Cup 2024 in the Caribbean and the USA.



For Pakistan, most of their prominent players are available and there aren't any injury concerns as well, barring Haris Rauf, who is currently nursing a shoulder injury which he sustained during the PSL 2024.

Most of the surfaces in Pakistan offer flat wickets. Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium is no different. The batters have ablsolutely rocked the fixtures held at this venue more often than not. There is some bounce on the wicket, but it gets even to bat on as the innings progresses. The spinners may get some assistance later in the innings. All in all, expect a proper run-fest from Pakistan and New Zealand.

PAK vs NZ 4th T20I: The ongoing Pakistan vs New Zealand five-game T20I series is nicely poised with the scoreline of 1-1 after three matches. The two sides will lock horns for the 4th T20I at the Gadaffi Stadium in Lahore on April 25. The fixture, PAK vs NZ, will begin at 8:00 PM IST.



The first game of the PAK vs NZ T20I series was washed out due to incessant rain in Rawalpindi, a few days ago. Though the opening fixture of the series couldn't produce a result, the forecast for the remainder of the five-match series was promising.



Pakistan and New Zealand met for the second T20I, and the home side emerged triumphant by seven wickets. The Pakistanis showcased their comprehensive abilities in the game to topple the Kiwis.



However, to everyone's surprise, New Zealand made a turn-around in the third game to ground the flying Pakistan. The second string New Zealand, touring Pakistan, handed a seven-wicket defeat to Pakistan in the PAK vs NZ 3rd T20I to level the T20I series 1-1.



Pakistan and New Zealand will now cross swords at the Gadaffi Stadium in the upcoming 4th T20I of the five-match series. The fixture is of utmost importance as the series is currently levelled at 1-1 and this game could turn out to be an epic clash.



The hosts are likely to have a few changes in their playing11 for the PAK vs NZ 4th T20I, which will be discussed in the next section.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">PAK vs NZ: Pakistan's Likely Playing11 for 4th T20I against New Zealand</h2>

In a setback, Pakistan will miss wicketkeeper batter Mohammad Rizwan, who has suffered a hamstring injury. Rizwan has already been ruled out for the remainder of the PAK vs NZ T20I series. Usman Khan is all set to take over the wicketkeeping duties from Rizwan for the next two T20Is.



Furthermore, Irfan Khan Niazi is also not available for the selection for the last two T20Is. 



Fakhar Zaman and Imad Wasim are likely to make a comeback into Pakistan's T20I side. While Fakhar Zaman will replace Mohammad Rizwan, Imad Wasim will cover for Irfan Khan Niazi.



In another change in Pakistan's playing11, Usama Mir is likely to replace Abrar Ahmed in the playing11.



Below is Pakistan's likely playing11 for 4th T20I against New Zealand:

ENG vs PAK 3rd T20I Dream11 Prediction: After going down in the second T20I by 23 runs, Pakistan will lock horns against England in the third of the four-match T20I series scheduled to be held on Tuesday [May 28]. The fixture will be held at the Sophia Gardens in Cardiff, beginning at 6:30 PM Local Time.

The scoreline for the ENG vs PAK T20I series so far has been 1-0 in England's favour. The first match of the series was washed out. Meanwhile, in the second game, England defeated Pakistan by 23 runs. 



In response to England's 187-run total, the visitors could only add up to 160 runs in 19.2 overs. Pakistan were bowled by the English bowling attack led by Reece Topley, who scalped three wickets. Making a sensational comeback following a long injury, Jofra Archer got two wickets.



Fakhar Zaman played a top knock of 45 runs for Pakistan in just 21 deliveries. Skipper Babar Azam contributed with his 26-ball 32-run knock.



England skipper Jos Buttler returned with a massive score despite a hot and cold IPL run in 2024. The glovesman added 84 runs in just 51 deliveries, including 8 boundaries and three maximums.



With the T20I series on the line, Pakistan stands in a do-or-die situation against the Englishmen. A loss in the 3rd T20I would mean that they no longer remain in the contest to win or level the 4-match series. Meanwhile, a win, for Pakistan, would keep the series alive between England and Pakistan.



England will miss the services of Jos Buttler who has returned home to be with his family. Jos Buttler and his wife are expecting their third child soon. Moeen Ali will lead the side in Buttler's absence.

The pitch in Sophia Gardens, Carfidd is expected to have a good carry and bounce throughout the contest. The surface will aid the seamers with the lateral movement early on. The spinners are unlikely to get a lot of help off the surface due to plenty of moisture on the surface. It is expected to remain consistent throughout, which will temp the teams to bat second and chase the target.

Australia has suffered a massive blow ahead of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. As per the reports in ESPNCricinfo, it is learned that captain Pat Cummins and Josh Hazlewood are all set to be ruled out of the tournament, which will begin on 19th February. 
Pat Cummins suffered an ankle injury during the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 and missed the ongoing Test tour to injury due to the same and also the birth of his second child. The fast bowler since then has been out of action and hasn't resumed any kind of bowling. 
Pat Cummins hasn't gained his full fitness and it is highly likely that he will be missing the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. This will be a massive blow as not only will they miss the quality bowler but also the captain, who took them to win the ICC World Cup 2023. 
In the absence of Pat Cummins, Australia is likely to give the leadership role to either Travis Head or Steve Smith. The latter has been leading the team in the ongoing Test series against Sri Lanka, and under his leadership, Australia won the first game of the series by a massive margin. 
The development was confirmed by Australia head coach Andrew McDonald, saying that Pat Cummins is highly likely to be unavailable. He also talked about giving leadership roles to Steve Smith and Travis Head. Speaking to SEN, he said:
"Pat Cummins hasn't been able to resume any type of bowling so he's heavily unlikely, so that would mean that we do need a captain. Steve Smith and Travis Head are the two that we've been having conversations with while we've been building out that Champions Trophy team along with Pat back home. They'll be the two that we look at for that leadership post." 
<h2>Josh Hazlewood is expected to be ruled out of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025</h2>
Apart from Pat Cummins, star pacer Josh Hazlewood also is expected to be ruled out of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. The fast bowler is battling with a hip issue, which he faced in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25. He, too, hasn't bowled since then and is against time to recover. 
His absence could be a big blow as well as he has been one of the consistent players for the team. Pat Cummins, along with Hazlewood, are now among the three Australia players to be ruled out of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. Earlier, Mitchell Marsh was ruled out of the tournament.

IND vs ENG 1st ODI: The ODI series between India and England, the two powerhouse teams, will commence on February 6 with the first ODI at Vidarbha Cricket Association Stadium in Nagpur. As the two big guns prepare to take on each other, all eyes will be on the thrilling individual battle that can shape the series. 
This high-stakes encounter promises some intense face-offs between world-class players. With the likes of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma at the top order of India and Jos Buttler and Joe Root for England, the series is going to be tough for bowlers and the stakes are high for the contest. Let's take a closer look at the key player battles to watch out for in IND vs ENG 1st ODI:
<h2>Key Player Battles to Watch Out For in IND vs ENG 1st ODI</h2>
<h3>1- Rohit Sharma vs Jofra Archer</h3>
Indian skipper Rohit Sharma has been struggling with form in recent times, particularly against pace. His vulnerability around the off-stump was exposed during the Test series against Australia, where he repeatedly fell to deliveries in that channel. The trend continued in his only Ranji Trophy appearance, where he failed in both innings against similar deliveries. Additionally, short-pitched bowling is emerging as another concern, making him a prime target for England’s pace spearhead, Jofra Archer.
Archer has already enjoyed success against Rohit in the T20 format, dismissing him three times in just 29 deliveries while conceding only 23 runs. This translates to an impressive strike rate of under 10 balls per wicket against the Indian captain. However, Rohit is known for his ability to adapt quickly to different conditions, and he has proven his resilience time and again. If he can counter Archer’s pace and movement, this battle could be a defining one in the first ODI.
<h3>2- Virat Kohli vs Brydon Carse/Gus Atkinson</h3>
<img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202502/image_430x256_67a2cfa1cda02.jpg" alt="">
With only one of Brydon Carse or Gus Atkinson likely to feature in England’s playing XI, whoever gets the nod will have a crucial role to play against Virat Kohli. Both pacers possess the skill set needed to challenge the modern master of white-ball cricket, especially around his well-documented weakness outside the off-stump. During the Test series against Australia, Kohli repeatedly fell to deliveries in the fifth-stump channel, edging behind—a vulnerability that Atkinson and Carse have the accuracy to exploit.
Unlike express pacers like Jofra Archer and Mark Wood, who rely on raw speed, Atkinson and Carse focus more on control and precision. This makes them an even bigger threat to Kohli early in his innings, as they can keep him guessing with disciplined lines. While there aren’t many head-to-head statistics available for this contest, the impact of this battle could be significant in shaping the match’s outcome.
<h3>3- Jos Buttler vs Mohammed Shami</h3>
<img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202502/image_430x256_67a2cfa7148b9.jpg" alt="">
Jos Buttler, one of England’s most recognized cricketers in India, has been in fine form recently. A well-rounded and technically sound batter, he has very few weaknesses that bowlers have successfully exploited. However, if there is one bowler who could trouble him, it is India’s seasoned pacer, Mohammed Shami.
Shami holds a statistical edge over Buttler in ODIs, having dismissed him five times in just 67 deliveries. While Buttler has managed to score 57 runs off those balls, Shami’s ability to generate movement and maintain a probing line makes him a serious threat. With his knack for producing sharp seam movement and late swing, Shami will look to unsettle Buttler early and continue his dominance in this intriguing contest.
4- Joe Root vs Axar Patel/Ravindra Jadeja
<img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202502/image_430x256_67a2cfa35fdae.jpg" alt="">
England’s right-handed batting maestro, Joe Root, has historically struggled against Jasprit Bumrah, particularly in Indian conditions. However, with Bumrah unavailable for this series, India may turn to spin as their primary weapon against him.
Despite being an exceptional player of spin, Root has shown vulnerability against left-arm off-spinners in the past. With no Bumrah to trouble him with pace and movement, India could look to exploit this weakness by deploying their spinners strategically. In the absence of their pace spearhead, setting a spin trap for Root might be India’s best bet to keep him in check.

The IND vs ENG 1st ODI will feature key battles, including Rohit vs Archer, Kohli vs Atkinson/Carse, Buttler vs Shami, and Root vs India’s spin trap. These matchups could shape the game’s outcome.

Crucial player battles—Rohit vs. Archer, Kohli vs. Atkinson/Carse, Buttler vs. Shami, and Root vs. spin—will define IND vs ENG 1st ODI.

IND vs ENG: After the T20 series concluded, as Mohammed Shami returned to the shortest format for India after a huge span of absence from the format, the World Cup 2023 hero is back playing a crucial hand in the ODI series against England, which will begin on the 6th of February. 
 
<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mohammed_Shami">Mohammed Shami </a>has had a decent T20 return with 3 wickets across 2 games played and is considered one of the greatest ODI bowlers for India of all time. Especially in the absence of legendary pacer Bumrah, Shami is the most experienced pacer to lead the Indian pace attack. 
 
Ever since the 2023 Cricket World Cup, Shami will play his first one-day international match, supposedly at the Vidarbha Stadium tomorrow. Ahead of the vital clash, Mohammed Shami will enter the field with 195 wickets to his name in the longest limited-overs format. 
 
<h2 dir="ltr">A Glimpse into Mohammed Shami’s Career </h2>

A peek into Mohammed Shami's stunning career despite injuries (Image Credit: X)
Shami, the Indian fast bowler, began his journey from the T20 Trophy starring for Bengal back in 2010, where he had one of the best debuts ever. Shami played for several franchises in the IPL the Delhi Daredevils, Punjab Kings, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kolkata_Knight_Riders">Kolkata Knight Riders</a>, and Gujarat Titans, where he picked 127 career wickets in the franchise-level cricket tournament. 
 
Shami has played over three World Cups for India ever since his debut in 2013, as he has been India’s highest wicket-taker in the history of the CWC, playing over three editions in 2015, 2019 and 2023. With 450+ career wickets in the Men in Blue’s jersey, Shami, despite participation in several WTC and CWC games, could never be seen on the podium, though he won several individual records, the last being named the Player of the Tournament in the 2023 World Cup. 
 
<h2 dir="ltr">List of Bowlers fastest to reach 200 ODI wickets</h2>
 
Shami, who has appeared in 101 games and is only 5-wickets away from the remarkable 200 wicket mark, is like Australian modern-day legendary fast bowler <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitchell_Starc">Mitchell Starc</a>, who also has 200+ wickets and reached the milestone in just 102 matches and the 101 bowling innings.

In what promises to be an exciting and thrilling contest, Steve Smith-led Australia and Dhananjaya de Silva's Sri Lanka are set to lock horns versus each other in the second and the last match of the two-match Test-Series at the Galle International Stadium of Galle from the 6th of February onwards (Wednesday). 
In the opening encounter of the series, the Mighty Aussies secured a comfortable victory by an inning and 242 runs and this win helped them to take an unassailable lead of 1-0 in the two-match series. In such a situation, the Dhananjaya de Silva-led Sri Lanka would be looking to make a strong comeback by rectifying their mistakes in the second match. 
Ahead of this exciting contest, some thrilling player battles will be seen taking place between the star players of both teams which can go on to affect the outcome of the match. We will be taking a look at those player battles in this article
While the Kangaroos have already taken the lead in the series, the home side will have the chance to make a strong comeback by taking advantage of the home conditions on offer. It will be interesting to see which team finishes out on top in these player battles and which team succumbs to the pressure. 
<h2>Dinesh Chandimal versus Matthew Kuhnemann</h2>
Australia's left-arm orthodox spinner Matthew Kuhnemann failed to create an impact with the ball in the first ball, ending the match with 0 scalps to his name but he can trouble Sri Lankan batters on the spinning track of Galle. 
This will be especially very challenging for experienced wicketkeeper-batsman Dinesh Chandimal. He is a good player of spin, has a good record against them and also he knows the conditions of Galle quite well but the variations of Kuhnemann can trouble him in the second Test-Match.
<h2>Prabhat Jayasuriya versus Usman Khawaja</h2>
Australia's experienced opening batter Usman Khawaja is in great form with the bat and he also possesses' an excellent batting record on Subcontinental surfaces. While the Australian team management would be happy to see him performing, they might be a little worried in the 2nd match as experienced left-arm spinner Prabhat Jayasuriya can trouble him a lot. 
The 33-year-old has excellent variations up his sleeve and has knack of performing brilliantly in spin-friendly conditions and home conditions. He also got the better of the Southpaw in the opening encounter, dismissing him when he was batting on the score of 232 runs and Jayasuriya would be looking to get the better of Khawaja again in the final match of the series. 
<h2>Other notable player battles</h2>
Apart from the two above-mentioned player battles, the battle between elite Aussie off-spinner Nathan Lyon and promising Sri Lankan batter Kamindu Mendis will also be worth watching out for. 
Angelo Mathews will have to rely on his batting technique to tackle the speed and swing of Mitchell Starc and at the same time, Asitha Fernando has the ability to trouble the Australian duo of Josh Inglis and Marnus Labuschagne with his pace and bounce.
