Nepal vs Canada Preview and Recent Form

Nepal enters the contest with significant momentum after a convincing seven-wicket victory over the UAE on Tuesday. Chasing a target of 146, the Rhinos reached the total with three overs to spare, thanks to blistering half-centuries from Aasif Sheikh and Dipendra Singh Airee. Their aggressive approach at the crease and disciplined spin bowling from Sandeep Lamichhane suggest they are well-prepared for Indian conditions.

Canada also secured a win in their first outing, edging out Italy by 10 runs in a closely contested match. Captain Dilpreet Bajwa will be pleased with his side's defensive bowling in the death overs, but he will be looking for a more consistent performance from the top-order batters against a high-quality Nepalese bowling attack.
