The Nepalese team will be aiming for their first victory in the CWC League 2 tri-series in Canada as they take on the host nation today, September 22, in the third match of the series.

Nepal’s struggles persist, having lost both matches in the series so far. They began with a heavy defeat to Canada, followed by a nail-biting loss to Oman.

In the opening match, Canada outplayed Nepal, securing a 103-run victory. Despite making three changes to their playing XI for the second match, Nepal still endured a close defeat.

Nepal will be eager to get back to winning ways. In their six matches played in this CWC League 2 campaign, they have managed just one victory.
