Qatar Women will host Nepal Women in the second of the three-match T20I series at the West End Park International Cricket Stadium in Doha on Wednesday.
The first T20I went the visitor's Nepal's way as they thumped hosts Qatar in an impeccable fashion on Tuesday.
Batting first, Nepal Women posted a healthy score of 146/4 on the board. Indu Barma top-scored with a 47-ball 55 while Sita Rana Magar also contributed with an important 39-run knock. Sarita Magar's 21 run-knock at the end eventually took them past the 140-mark.
The target proved to be way too much for Qatar Women to get as they collapsed and failed to get anywhere close. In a poor batting display, Qatar Women were skittled out for just 27 runs.
None of their batters could even cross double figures as Nepal Women made quick work of their defense. Rubina Chettry picked up three wickets, to emerge as the stand-out bowler for Nepal. Sita Rana Magar and Kabita Kunwar also chipped in with a couple of wickets each. Nepal Women won by a massive margin of 119 runs to take a 1-0 lead.

On the other hand, Qatar Women will need to put a heavy loss behind quickly and bounce back if they want to keep the series alive. They struggled with the bat and will need to come together as a unit on Wednesday.
Nepal Women appear to be the stronger side after the first game. Therefore, they start as favorites to win this match. Nepal Women will want to carry forward the momentum and seal the series with a win in this match.
