Nepal vs Saudi Arabia Betting Tips

Nepal to score high before 1st dismissal ( @Parimatch)

Nepal has a good batting order and it has been their strength. However, there runs an inconsistency with the form in the team. The pair played a series against Papua New Guinea where they posted 10, 64 & 5 runs before their first dismissal in the three games. They led an impressive opening partnership in one of those games. In the current competition, Nepal posted the scores of 49, 18 & 70 runs before 1st dismissal in three games. Kushal Bhurtel and Aasif Sheikh opened for the team and currently average pretty high in the current competition. That said, Nepal will be expected to score high before their first dismissal in the next game.
