Nepal started its final home match of the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup League 2 triangular series against the United States at the TU International Cricket Ground in Kirtipur.
A damp outfield delayed the start of play.
The visiting American team won the toss and chose to field first. The groundstaff worked to clear the wet conditions before the opening overs could safely begin.
After the first three overs, Nepal reached 19 runs without losing a wicket. The opening batsmen navigated the early stages securely to establish a stable foundation.
Nepal enters this fixture seeking a final victory in the home series.
The team previously secured a dominant nine-wicket win over the United States, fueled by an unbeaten century from Kushal Bhurtel.
Home Advantage and Recent Form
The home team aims to leverage familiar conditions to advance their position on the tournament points table. Nepal has secured victories in two of their last three appearances.
The United States national team arrives with high morale following a recent decisive victory against Scotland. However, history favors the hosts at this specific venue.
Nepal maintains a perfect record after winning all three previous One Day International encounters against the American squad at this ground.
This match concludes the current home cycle of League 2 for Nepal before the team travels abroad for their next two scheduled triangular series.
