TEAMS PREVIEW
Hong Kong, China Preview
Hong Kong China head into the contest on the back of a much-needed victory over Malaysia. They snatched a victory from the jaws of defeat. Hong Kong were bowled out for 209 runs and the hosts controlled the chase at one stage. They were three down on 147 runs but a middle-order collapse allowed Hong Kong to force a super over. Malaysia required five runs off the final over with three wickets in hand. Malaysia scored only 11 runs in the super over and Hong Kong finished the game in just three balls.
Hong Kong needed this win after a disappointing loss to Bahrain. They failed to chase 211 runs and suffered their first defeat of the tournament. In the opening game, they thrashed Singapore by 163 runs after piling up a massive 289. With two wins from three games, they are still in the race to semifinals. One more win will confirm their spot in semifinals.
Anshuman Rath has been one of the most consistent batters in the Premier Cup, scoring 113 runs in 3 innings with two half-centuries. He was also instrumental in the CWC Challenge League B with 520 runs from 12 innings at an average of 47.27. Babar Hayat has also contributed 103 runs with the best score of 73. Yasim Murtaza offers the team an all-round option and could have a major say in the upcoming contest. He has picked up 7 wickets in the ongoing contest. He also got 22 wickets in the CWC Challenge League.

Nepal Preview
Nepal enter the contest on the back of an easy win over Saudi Arabia. They extended their winning streak to three matches and also qualified for the semifinals. They bowled out Saudi for 190 runs and chased down the total with 9 overs left. Sandeep Lamichhane and Dipendra Singh Airee bagged three wickets each in the win. Earlier, they secured a six-wicket victory over the hosts after getting them out on just 103 runs.
In the opening game, they had a dominant victory over Bahrain. They bowled out the opposition for just 87 runs and chased down the target with 29 overs to spare. Nepal will be aiming to qualify for the Men’s Asia Cup once again after featuring in the last 50-over edition in 2023. Their next assignment is against the hosts, Hong Kong. They will play semifinals if they drop their game against Hong Kong.
Dipendra Singh Airee could be a player to watch out for. He was Nepal’s leading run-scorer in the CWC League Two, with 790 runs. We back him to score over 35 runs in the upcoming game. He is quite handy with the bowl as well. Apart from him, Sandeep Lamichhane is a big shot player. The skipper is the leading wicket-taker of the tournament with 9 wickets in 3 innings at an average of 6.11. Rajbanshi has also picked up 7 wickets. Nepal's bowling has been best among all teams as they didn't allow any team to cross 200 runs in the competition.

Arjun Kumal, Aasif Sheikh (wk), Dev Khanal, Ishan Pandey, Rohit Paudel, Dipendra Singh Airee, Karan KC, Gulsan Jha, Lalit Rajbanshi, Sandeep Lamichhane (c), Sher Malla

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS

HKG vs NEP Pitch Report
The surface at Bayuemas Oval, Kuala Lumpur is good for batting. The surface looks ideal for batting in both innings. Oman crossed 300 runs on this pitch in the opening game. 253 is the highest successful run-chase on this ground. In the last five matches at this ground, the average first batting score in the List-A is 226. It is a decent batting surface where batsmen need to play sensibly.
Score prediction:
If Nepal bat first - 270-290 runs
If Hong Kong bat first - 240-250 runs
Toss: To Bat
In the last five Men’s ODIs on this surface, chasing sides won three games. So, chasing would be a good job but anything above 250 would be a tough task to get in the 2nd innings. The surface gets slower in the second innings. 250-plus total has been chased down only once. Both teams have had earlier success while batting first and they will look to bat first in this fixture as well.
Toss Prediction: Hong Kong to win the coin toss.
HKG vs NEP
Winning Prediction
Nepal enter this contest as the favourites to win this match. They have been a dominant side of the tournament. Nepal qualified for the 2023 edition as well. They are likely to get a big victory over Hong Kong. This is also a crucial match for both teams as both teams would eye a place in the 2026 ACC Premier Cup semifinals.
Nepal to win.
