At 1:45 PM Nepali time, a match between Nepal and Namibia will take place at the United Cricket Ground in Windhoek. When Nepal plays against Scotland, it will be attempting to earn its first victory during the tour of Namibia. Nepal has played three games on this tour, losing two and drawing one.
Nepal gained points after the first match versus Namibia was abandoned due to inclement weather. On Wednesday, Nepal fell to Namibia by 86 runs after losing by three wickets to Scotland in the first game.
To participate in the global qualifications for the next year, Nepal must maintain its position in the top three and win every game left to play. The defeat by Namibia on Wednesday has worsened Nepal’s prospects.
Scotland is in first place with 44 points after 30 games (20 wins, 7 defeats). Scotland’s top three appear to be established. With 18 points from 22 games, 8 wins, and 13 defeats, Nepal is in sixth place. Nepal would be thinking of adding two significant points by stunning Scotland, the strongest team in ICC World Cup League 2.
However, Nepal will not find it simple.
Scotland, on the other hand, is brimming with talented and seasoned batters. Kyle Kotzer and George Munshe are the starters. They are both outstanding batters in association cricket. Munshe is renowned for his lengthy, aggressive at-bats.

A powerful middle order is led by captain Richie Berrington, wicketkeeper Matthew Cross, and Brendan McCumallan. If one of these three players performs, Scotland might reach a high total. In the lower order, Chris Sole, Mark Watt, Shane Sharif, and Michael Lisk have all been hitting well. In order to cause Scotland’s potent batting order to crumble, Nepalese bowlers will have options besides bowling well.
Sharif, Chris Sole, and Brendon McCumallan are three of Scotland’s fast bowlers.
