Toss Update:  Nepal won the toss and decided to field first against UAE. 

After a rain-curtailed series opener, Nepal and the UAE are back to face each other again in Kirtipur. It is a short turnaround for the two teams as they attempt to build on the progress they have shown to make it to the T20 World Cup. Both teams managed only a solitary win in the tournament and would look at this series (their first after the ICC event) as preparation for the mega event two years later.

Nepal vs UAE Head-To-Head

The head-to-head record between Nepal and the UAE is neck-to-neck after 12 T20Is. Both teams have won six matches each in this rivalry over the years, with the UAE squaring the head-to-head record. Will it be the same result tonight? Or will Nepal square the series?

Nepal Preview

There is no doubt over the fact that Nepal has one of the most passionate fan bases in the cricketing world. However, despite the constant success in getting to world tournaments, a breakout performance has eluded this nation. With tonight’s game, while many would believe there is not much at stake, the reality is Nepal would want to win in front of their home crowd, who will be backing Dipendra Singh Airee and his men to square the series after a disappointing loss yesterday. 

UAE Preview

The UAE has been playing competitive international cricket for longer than Nepal; however, the Asian nation has struggled to make any significant mark at the international level. Despite some of the top players at their disposal, including the likes of Muhammad Waseem and now even Harpreet Singh Bhatia. Playing away from home, the UAE would aim to extend their lead in the series after having won yesterday in the first game of the tournament.
