NED vs NEP: Preview
The upcoming game offers both the teams a fair chance to steady their rocky ship. More significantly, South Africa, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh have been pooled into this group which means that a win is must in order to keep their hopes alive.
Netherlands is coming to the tournament after their tragic tri-series loss to Scotland and Ireland in May. However, they did win their most recent outing, the T20 WC warm-up game against Sri Lanka by a margin of 20 runs.
On the other hand, Nepal was unlucky way before the commencement of the tournament as there spirited bowler, Sandeep Lamichhane's US visa application was rejected for the second time.
This puts a big question mark on their campaign as a strong player like Lamichhane would have definitely been a plus point for the team. However, now Rohit Paudel and his army will have to play their cards and focus on shifting their losing momentum and start their campaign on a positive note. They have recently lost their warm-up game to Canada.
