NEW DELHI: Looking to book their place in the Asia Cup Super 4s after a wash-out against Pakistan, India take on minnows Nepal in their second Group A game in Pallekele on Monday.
The no-result in the India-Pakistan contest meant both teams shared a point each.
While Pakistan are through to the next stage -- a win against Nepal (2 points) and no result against India (1 point), Rohit Sharma and co. face yet another rain obstacle with the game against Nepal under threat of being washed out.
The six group-stage matches will be followed by the Super Fours beginning September 6.
The final will be played by the top two teams at the end of the Super Fours on September 17 in Colombo.
