With a 4-0 victory against Bhutan in the opening game of the group, Nepal got off to a solid start. After that, Bhutan won 5-0 against Sri Lanka in the second game to go to the semifinals. Nepal will advance to the semifinals with a victory or a draw in the current match. Nepal will make it to the semifinals even if they lose by two goals.
Coach Kumar Thapa made debuts for attacker Amisha Karki and midfielder Deepa Shahi in the opening game. Deepa excelled in the midfield, while Amisha was unable to exert a significant impact. Amisha, who was substituted in the first half, will probably sit on the sidelines today. In the second half against Bhutan, Rekha Paudel came in as a substitute and had an impact. He’ll likely start today.

In the second part of the match against Bhutan, coach Thapa also provided goalkeeper Anjana Ranamar with such a chance. Anjana also made a stunning save. However, it appears that Captain Angela will begin today. The defense will still feature Hira Bhujel, Poonam Zargha Magar, Geeta Rana, and Amrita Jaishi. Samiksha Ghimire entered the field late in the previous game to make her debut. Coach Thapa, though, might not alter the defense.
Anita KC might start once more in the midfield because Manjali Kumari Yonjan is out injured. Thapa has previously stated that he had to alter the lineup for the match against Bhutan due to a last-minute fever. Manjali will also be absent from today’s game. In the first game, Anita Basnet won player of the match. Deepa Shahi, Anita KC, and Saru Limbu will be his teammates in the midfield. The midfield is where Saru and Deepa are most likely to be found.
