Building a partnership is one of the most crucial factors for the team’s progress during the passage of the play. While individual milestones matter to the player and the team’s success, the partnership plays a quintessential role as it puts the team in its comfort zone. We have seen how partnerships help the team take the game away from the opposition.
More importantly, it really means a lot when the players are part of the century partnerships, especially in the Asia Cup tournament. The continental event is an international cricket competition held among Asian cricketing nations like India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Afghanistan and others. The Nepal cricket team made its debut in the 2023 edition of the Asia Cup.
