Team Nepal will be bowling first against West Indies in the third match of the Cricket World Cup Qualifier 2023. Nepalese skipper Rohit Paudel won the toss and decided to bowl first at Harare Sports Club.
Nepal has made no changes from their last match against USA, as Sompal Kami is still unfit. Meanwhile, the Windies have also lined up the same XI from their last win against the USA.
