Post the glittering opening ceremony, players will take the stage as Pakistan and Nepal will lock horns for the first time. Nepal have been one impressive unit and their presence in the tournament is a testament to their consistent performances. They qualified for this main tournament by winning the 10-team ACC Men’s Premier Cup in April-May.
Pakistan have already announced their playing XI. They have included three pacers in the squad – Shaheen Shah Afridi, Naseem Shah and Haris Rauf – apart from two spinners – Shadab Khan and Mohammad Nawaz, who can also be very handy with the bat.
