The third and final game of the T20 series between Nepal and Zimbabwe A will be played at the Tribhuvan University International Cricket Ground on May 4.

The second game of the T20 series was washed out due to rain, with only 4.3 overs of play possible. Nepal skipper Sandeep Lamichhane won the toss and opted to bowl first. They dismissed Innocent Kaia on the second ball of the innings. Tadiwanashe Marumani and Kudzai Maunze put up 47 between them before the former was dismissed on 21.

Zimbabwe A were 48/2 at the end of 4.3 overs before the heavens opened up. The rain washed out the remainder of the game as the Zimbabwe A side continued to lead the three-match T20 series by a 1-0 margin.

The hosts will be hoping the rain stays away on Wednesday and they get a chance to keep the series alive as a loss will result in a series defeat.
