Oman vs Nepal
The match is part of the qualification pathway towards the 2027 ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup. Both teams are looking to collect valuable points as the League 2 competition continues.
Nepal Lose an Early Wicket
Nepal began their innings cautiously against Oman’s bowling attack. In the latest ball-by-ball update available from the match thread, Nepal were 17/1 after 6.1 overs, with Aasif Sheikh dismissed for 4 off 15 balls. Arjun Kumal was at the crease as Nepal looked to rebuild their innings.

Oman Aim to Capitalise on Home Conditions
Playing on home soil, Oman will be keen to make the most of the early overs and restrict Nepal to a manageable total. Their bowling attack will look to exploit any movement or turn available at the Al Amerat venue.
Oman also enter the contest after a 41-run victory over Canada on October 9, giving them an opportunity to build momentum in the competition.
Nepal Look to Continue Their Recent Form
Nepal come into the match following a 24-run win over Canada on October 11. The team will rely on contributions from players such as Rohit Paudel, Dipendra Singh Airee and Sandeep Lamichhane as they pursue a strong result.
With Nepal batting first, building partnerships and preserving wickets will be central to their plans for the remainder of the innings.
