Nepal will take on the United Arab Emirates (UAE) today in a highly anticipated Super Six match of the ICC T20 World Cup Asia and East Asia Pacific Qualifiers. Entering the stage as the Group B winner, Nepal views this clash as a crucial step toward its World Cup dream.
After a five-wicket victory over Japan on Friday, Nepal maintained an unbeaten streak in the group stage, showcasing strong form ahead of this encounter. The team had earlier crushed Kuwait by 58 runs, signaling its dominance in the qualifiers.
The match, scheduled for 4:15 PM (Nepal time), promises to be an intense battle as both sides enter with momentum and confidence. A win against UAE would give Nepal a significant advantage in its quest to qualify for the 2026 ICC T20 World Cup, which will be jointly hosted by India and Sri Lanka.
To secure a World Cup berth, Nepal must finish in the top three of the Super Six stage. While three wins would guarantee progression, even two victories could keep hopes alive depending on net run rate.
Today’s match is seen as a turning point for Nepal’s campaign. A strong performance and victory over UAE would not only boost morale but also bring the team a step closer to fulfilling its World Cup aspirations.
