Nepal form
Nepal are coming into the game after being badly beaten y 63 runs in their first Warmup game against Canada. Both departments failed for Nepal be it batting or bowling. They are going against the USA in the second warmup game and they will expect some credibility from their team. Kushal Bhurtel and Aasif Sheikh gave a good start in the game but it was of lost cause. The team is too dependent on them to give them great starts at the top of the order. Anil Sah, Kushal Malla, Paudel, and Sundeep Jora need to step up in the middle order and contribute to the team’s total. Sompal Kami and Gulshan Jha will be looking to provide the finishing touches to the team’s innings. The bowling unit also needs to bounce back after a bad game. Lalit Rajbanshi and Abinash Bohara are expected to play their roles well in supporting the team.
