The Asia Cup 2023 got underway on August 30, with the hosts Pakistan taking on Nepal in Multan in the opening contest of the tournament.
Before the match began, the PCB organized an opening ceremony, which saw Pakistani singer Aima Baig and Nepal's Trishala Gurung entertaining the crowd with their songs. Trishala has delivered some hit numbers in Nepal and has a fan following of over 239,000 on Instagram.
