In their last three games, the pair secured 15, 0 & 0 runs before their first dismissal. In the current competition, Nepal went against Namibia and Netherlands where their opening partnership read as 0 in both the games. Kushal Bhurtel lost his wicket at 0 on both the occasions.

Favorites to win

Namibia

Nepal may have an advantage of familiar playing conditions. However, they failed to register any wins in two games of their campaign. They lost earlier to Namibia in the current competition by 20 runs. Looking at the forms of both the teams, Namibia will be the match favourites with a better batting and bowling unit. Namibia are placed higher in the ICC rankings and will assert dominance in the next game as well.
