India and Nepal have played each other once before. The ODI match was played in the Asia Cup 2023, which India won comfortably in the end. The support for the Nepal cricket team has been huge in most of the matches. Even in the T20 World Cup 2024, Nepalese supporters chanted for their team despite them not performing at their best.
