Nepal recently featured in the ICC CWC League 2 where they have won six out of eight games. Kushal Bhurtel could be the player to watch out for. He has been a pretty consistent player for Nepal, scoring two consecutive hundreds in the competition. We back him to score above 50 runs in the upcoming game. Dipendra Singh Arre and Kushal Malla are also key batters. Sandeep Lamichhane also remains a top bowler. Nepal have secured six out of ten victories against Qatar.

Kushal Bhurtel, Aasif Sheikh, Ishan Pandey, Rohit Paudel, Dipendra Singh Airee, Aarif Sheikh, Gulshan Jha, Sompal Kami, Nandan Yadav, Sandeep Lamichhane, Lalit Rajbanshi

They defeated Singapore in their opening game by 7 runs (D/L method). Later, they outclassed Bahrain by 20 runs. In the final game, Oman suffered a 154-run loss to Hong Kong. With this loss, they missed out on the top place in the table. 

Mohammed Al Balushi could be a player to watch out for. He scored 26-ball 44 in the first game, followed by 81 runs. He is a top-class batting performer for Oman. We back him to score above 25 runs in the upcoming game. Shuaib Al Balushi is also a good pick for the format. Oman beat Nepal four times in the T20 format so they can take inspiration from previous victories.

NEP vs OMA Pitch Report

The surface at Singapore National Cricket Ground is good for batting. It also offers a good balance between bat and ball. Spin assistance will be there in the middle overs. In the last five matches at this ground, the average first batting score in the women’s T20I is 203. It is a quality T20I batting surface where batsmen need to play aggressively. 

Score prediction: 

If Oman bat first - 150-160 runs 

If Nepal bat first - 240-250 runs 

Toss: To Bat

In the last five Men’s T20I on this surface, chasing sides won only one game. Teams posted a 200-plus total four times and each time, they secured a win. 189 remains the highest successful run-chase on this ground. Singapore also came close to chase 211 but fell short of two runs. So, captains would follow the same pattern if they won the toss. Both teams have had earlier success while batting first and they will look to bat first in this fixture as well. 

Toss Prediction: Nepal to win the coin toss.
