This game would be a good test of their skills against a side that is high on confidence and looking to create a name for themselves on the biggest stage. As Nepal takes on the USA we could expect a good contest between these highly competitive sides. Stay tuned for toss and other updates.
The sides have some quality bowlers in their ranks, and the batters complement them well. The side is a perfect blend of experience and youth and they would be looking to inflict an upset or two when it would count the most. Nepal on the other hand have not been in the best of forms but they have quality players all along their ranks. The side looks well-balanced and well-drilled with the bowlers and batters complimenting each other perfectly.
We are all set for game no. 8 of the ICC T20 World Cup warm-up matches. It will be the Asian side on the up Nepal taking on the hosts USA. This game will be a solid platform for both sides to lock horns against each other and get the final touch-up before the Major ICC event. USA would be high on cloud 9 as they head into this game with a historic series win against a full member nation in Bangladesh where they defeated the Asian side 2-1 in the recently concluded T20 series.
