New Zealand U-19 vs Nepal U-19 Chance of Winning
New Zealand U-19 are the red hot favourites to beat Nepal U-19 in their Under-19 World Cup 2024 opener on Sunday. New Zealand, who are used to pace-friendly conditions at home, will be more accustomed to the conditions in South Africa.
Nepal, on the other hand, are a team from the subcontinent. Playing in South African conditions will not at all be easy for them. Also, they are not used to playing against quality teams like New Zealand. Neal were recently part of U-19 Asia Cup 2023 where they lost each of their last three matches.
New Zealand U-19 chance of winning - 90%

New Zealand U-19 vs Nepal U-19 Betting Tips
Lachlan Stackpole of New Zealand looked in good touch against West Indies in the warm-up match before getting out for 23 runs off 32 balls. The innings consisted of a single boundary. Eyes will be on the 18-year-old left-hand batter once again.
Nepal's right-arm off-spinner Subhash Bhandari can emerge as the surprise package for Nepal. He picked two wickets in the Under-19 Asia Cup 2023 at an impressive economy rate of 4.92. He would be one bowler to watch out for.
