Cricket World Cup League 2, Nepal vs Scotland: Probable XIs, Match Prediction, Weather Forecast, Pitch Report, and Live Streaming Details

Nepal and Scotland are set to face off in Match No. 126 of the ICC Cricket World Cup League 2 on Tuesday, February 21. The match will take place at the Tribhuvan University International Cricket Ground in Kirtipur.

Nepal, captained by Rohit Paudel, haven’t had the best of times in the tournament. They are placed sixth in the table with 24 points and a net run rate of -0.254, courtesy of 11 wins from 27 matches.

However, the fact that they are on a three-match winning streak will give them confidence ahead of their upcoming game. They beat Gerhard Erasmus’ Namibia by three wickets in their previous match on February 18.

After opting to field first, Nepal restricted their opponents to 274 for the loss of six wickets. Sandeep Lamichhane was the pick of their bowlers with three wickets. Nepal chased down the target with 15 balls to spare.

Scotland, led by Richie Berrington, on the other hand, are sitting pretty on top of the points table. With 48 points from their first 34 matches, they have been the standout team in the tournament.
