The Nepalese fans are having the time of their lives at the Pallekele International Cricket Stadium. It is the first-ever men's international cricket match between India and Nepal at the senior level. Nepal got off to a great start and raced to 65 in the powerplay overs. However, their innings has slowed down after the fall of opener Kushal Bhurtel's wicket.

Virat Kohli dropped a catch of Aasif Sheikh early in the match

Indian bowlers Mohammed Shami and Mohammed Siraj almost dismissed the two Nepal openers in the first seven balls of the match. Shami first got the outside edge of Bhurtel's bat, but Shreyas Iyer failed to grab the catch in the slip cordon.

On the next ball, Aasif Sheikh mistimed a ball from Mohammed Siraj towards the short cover fielder Virat Kohli. Virat tried to complete the catch, but the jump was not timed to perfection, and he dropped it. Aasif is still batting in the middle, having scored 45 runs off 76 balls at the time of writing.
