Nepal is playing crucial matches in ICC World Cup League 2 (WCL-2) against much stronger rivals Scotland and Namibia. Nepal will play twice each against the home team Scotland and Namibia. Scotland has been in top form, pretty much reflected by the points table as it is comfortably placed 2nd in the table with 28 points from 20 matches. Whereas, the USA sits second from last with 14 points from 14 games. Meanwhile, Nepal needs to win to climb up the table as it is placed fifth having 14 points from 15 matches in order to have any chances to finish top three in 36 each matches tournament. The series is expected to produce thrilling contests as all three teams are associate cricket’s powerhouses. Hopefully, it will be an excellent series for Nepal.
