If the rain interferes with the India vs Nepal Asia Cup 2023 match, resulting in a point-sharing scenario, it will lead to disappointment for the Nepalese team. This is because the Nepalese team had already lost their opening match against Pakistan, leaving them with zero points.

In the event of the IND vs NEP match being washed-out, India will accumulate a total of 2 points, while Nepal will only have 1 point. This outcome would result in Nepal’s elimination from the Asia Cup 2023, whereas India would advance to the Super 4 stage without playing a full game.
