The crucial match starts at 11:00 AM NST at Mulpani Cricket Ground. This decision by CAN is aimed at addressing the crowd management difficulties arising from the limited space available.
A win will ensure Nepal’s place at the T20 World Cup 2024. In 2022, UAE dashed Nepal’s hopes by securing a victory in the semifinal of the Global Qualifier.
