Another ISP Dish Home FiberNet is screening today’s Nepal vs. Pakistan match at multiple restaurants and malls in Kathmandu. It’s very likely that it will continue to screen the matches that Nepal plays in the least. Regarding the screening of the matches, WorldLink said:

WorldLink is a connectivity partner with the Cricket Association of Nepal- CAN. In Nepal, the ISP provides internet infrastructure to the cricket governing body.

No coverage on NetTV
There were some indications that WorldLink could air live Asia Cup 2023 tournaments on its IPTV platform NetTV. But sadly, no confirmation arrived and today’s Nepal vs. Pakistan match also didn’t feature on the OTT app. It seems that the public screening of the matches is to compensate for the tournament’s absence on its OTT service. And that’s not an underwhelming offering either.
WorldLink is bringing live matches to the public to promote the sport in the country.
Dish Home is screening the Nepal vs. Pakistan cricket match
Likewise, Dish Home is screening the Nepal vs. Pakistan cricket match from the Asia Cup 2023 tournament at various malls and restaurants inside Kathmandu. As per the DTH/ISP, the inaugural game of the competition was played live in KL Tower (Chabahil), BG Mall (Gongabu), Eyeplex Mall (Baneshwor), and in many restaurants.
The Asia Cup 2023 cricket competition is a massive event for cricket fans. It’s even more crucial for Nepali fans as Nepal is playing for the first time in this regional competition.
