New Delhi: The curtains have finally risen on the big Asian cricket fest as Pakistan is all set to take on the debutante Nepal in the opening encounter of the Asia Cup 2023.
Pakistan organized a 15-minute opening ceremony for the tournament, which featured Pakistani singer Aima Baig and Nepal’s Trishala Gurung; however, it did not go as planned by the PCB.
On the one hand, the people of Nepal love the fact that one of their own is taking the stage at a huge event like this.
On the other hand, however, many people, including the Pakistanis, were not able to know what to make of Aima Baig’s performance. Netizens even sparked a meme fest on social media platform X (Formerly known as Twitter). Check out their reactions below:

Notably, the opening encounter of the tournament will be the first time Pakistan and Nepal will be taking the field against each other on the International level.
Earlier, Pakistani skipper Babar Azam won the toss and decided to bat first against Nepal.
