However, it is not easy for UAE, which is in bad form, to win in the remaining three matches. Nepal also wants to beat the UAE and stay in the top three to keep alive the possibility of playing the ODI World Cup qualifiers. In order to directly qualify for the ODI World Cup, Nepal has to win all the remaining three matches. Currently, Nepal, which is in fifth place in the table, has collected 34 points from 33 games.
After winning on Sunday, Nepal will overtake America and climb to fourth place in the points table. So far, Nepal has won 16 out of 33, lost 15, and shared points in two matches. It is unlikely that Nepal will change the playing XI against UAE. Having won the previous match, Nepal wants to repeat the same playing set in the second match as well.
Nepal's Playing XI: Kushal Bhurtel, Asif Sheikh (WK), Gyanendra Malla, Rohit Kumar Poudel (C), Kushal Malla, Bhim Sarki, Dipendra Singh Airi, Arif Sheikh, Sandeep Lamichhane, Sompal Kami and Karan KC
