What Have The Two Teams Done Recently?
Nepal
Nepal have played in 67 ODIs in their history and have a win-loss record of 34-31. Of course, most of their wins have come against the non Full Member sides. In 2024 before the start of this competition, Nepal had won four of the seven matches they have featured in, all of which came at home.
On the WCL 2 2024 points table they have currently just gotten off the mark but lost their opener here and have two points from five games with their only win having come in a shock result against Netherlands. They languish in the seventh spot.
Oman
Oman have won 24 and lost 23 of the ODIs they have played in their entire history. In 2024, they have played just three games, winning a solitary one against Namibia in Dundee.
They have three points from four games in the World Cricket League 2 points table, putting them on the sixth spot just ahead of Nepal.
Quick Nepal v Oman ODI Preview
Nepal need a quick turnaround from the pummelling they received in the first game of this tri-series. Sure, they were playing the hosts Canada but to lose the manner in which they did will hurt.
They had, after all, won the toss and elected to field first in a day game. What they would have hoped for is for their bowling attack to keep Canada down to a sub-200 score but with Rohit Paudel and Dipendra Singh Airee combining to concede 76 runs from their 10 overs, it was a surprise some of the other bowlers weren’t given a better look-in. No other bowler completed their 10-over quota.
On the other hand, when they chased 254, none of the top seven batters crossed 20 and at one stage it looked like they could be rolled over for under 100.
They will have a better chance against Oman, who have had their own struggles. But on paper this could be a match between equals and that’s what the bookmakers are saying too with Nepal just ahead at 4/5 to win this to Oman’s 1/1.
