Nepal vs Oman: Clash in ICC CWC League 2 Tri-Series - What to Expect

Excitement is building as the Nepal national cricket team faces off against Oman in their second encounter of the ICC Cricket World Cup League 2 Tri-Series. This highly anticipated match is set to take place on September 18, 2024, at the Maple Leaf Cricket Ground in Ontario, Canada. The action begins at 8:30 PM IST, and cricket enthusiasts in India can catch all the live action on the FanCode app and website, as there will be no TV broadcast.

Nepal, under the leadership of captain Rohit Paudel, is eager to recover from a disappointing start to the series. Their opening match saw them suffer a heavy 103-run defeat against the hosts, Canada. Canada set a formidable target of 254, thanks to notable contributions from Nicholas Kirton, who scored 73 off 44 balls, and other key players like Navneet Dhaliwal and Dillon Heyliger. Nepal's response was underwhelming as they were all out for 150, marking their fourth loss in the ongoing League 2 campaign. With just one win from five matches, Nepal is currently struggling in seventh place in the League 2 standings.

On the other hand, Oman, led by captain Aqib Ilyas, is riding high on a recent victory over Namibia. In their last fixture, Oman chased down Namibia's total with four wickets to spare. Oman’s campaign began with mixed results—a rain-affected no result against Scotland, a loss to Namibia, and another defeat against Scotland. Despite these setbacks, Oman's single win places them in a more favorable position than Nepal, sitting sixth in the standings with three points.

Historically, Oman has had the upper hand in their head-to-head record against Nepal, winning four of the seven ODIs played between the two teams. However, their recent encounter in the ACC Men’s Premier Cup 2023 saw Nepal secure a convincing 84-run victory. This suggests a competitive edge and perhaps a psychological advantage for Nepal, despite their current form.

Looking ahead to this crucial clash, the match is expected to be fiercely contested. Both teams have key players who could turn the game in their favor. Nepal will look to their bowlers like Sompal Kami and Lalit Rajbanshi to make an impact, while Oman will rely on their experienced all-rounders to maintain their winning streak.

Fans in India can follow the live stream on FanCode to catch every moment of this exciting fixture. As Nepal seeks redemption and Oman aims to build on their momentum, the game promises to be an exhilarating contest.
