Mainly hot and humid weather is expected on the eve of inaugural match of Asia Cup 2023 between host Pakistan and Nepal at Multan Cricket Stadium on Wednesday.
Though green shirts are favorites as top ranked ODI team, Nepal has come to the tournament after winning their 11 out of last 12 encounters in this format.
Though Nepal is part of Asia Cup for the first time, the Himalayan nation has the dream of causing an upset against a test playing nation.
Multan is usually a high scoring ground producing 250 plus average first innings total.
In the recent past, the pitch has suited spinners more than the fast bowlers.
Nepal has the services of a top spinner Sandeep Lamichhane.
The good news is dry weather and as such no rain interruptions to start the Asia Cup 2023.
According to the synoptic situation, continental air is prevailing over most parts of the country.
Under the influence of these conditions, mainly hot and humid weather is expected in most districts of the province including Multan on Wednesday.
