Mohammad Haris will lead Pakistan-A [Twitter]
Match four of the ongoing ACC Emerging Asia Cup between Nepal and Pakistan-A is set to take place on this Friday, July 14, at the Colombo Cricket Club Ground. The encounter promises to be a belter, with two robust lineups set to collide against each other.
Pakistan-A certainly look the stronger between the two. However, Nepal, known for their fighting spirit, will look for a dream start to the tournament.
Team Previews
Pakistan-A
Pakistan seem formidable on paper, with their senior players all set to make an impact this time. Mohammad Haris, who will be leading the team, might play a vital role for Pakistan-A, as he slammed some impactful quick-fire cameos in the T20 World Cup last year.
The bowling department will be led by the likes of Shahnawaz Dahani and Mohammad Wasim Jr, who could rattle the Nepalese batting line-up with sheer pace and movement.
Nepal
Nepal seems to be in a mood to give Pakistan a good run for their money. After featuring in the World Cup Qualifiers, the emerging Asian team is high on confidence.
Nepal will be led by Rohit Paudel, who has played 52 ODIs, amassing 1469 runs with remarkable impact. They also have a core of solid all-rounders, who might be match-winning with bat and ball.
