Nepal vs Scotland: Nepal will take on hosts Scotland today in their third and final match of the ongoing ICC Cricket World Cup League 2 series in Dundee. The Nepal vs Scotland clash is scheduled to begin at 3:45 PM Nepali time. This marks their second face-off in this tri-nation series.
Nepal comes into this game with great momentum after pulling off two consecutive victories. They registered a historic and thrilling win against Scotland in their first match on Monday and followed it up with a solid performance against the Netherlands on Wednesday. With back-to-back wins, Nepal now aims to finish the series unbeaten.
Nepal’s recent record against Scotland is impressive. Since 2023, the two teams have met five times in ODIs, with Nepal winning four matches and one ending without a result. In their previous meeting before this series, Nepal and Scotland faced off in Dallas during the October 2024 League 2 fixtures. Nepal won one game while the second was washed out due to rain.
Earlier, in February 2023, Nepal had also defeated Scotland twice at the TU Ground in Kathmandu, winning by 2 wickets and 3 wickets respectively. Including Monday’s win, Nepal and Scotland have now played 9 ODIs. Nepal leads the head-to-head with 5 wins, while Scotland has 3 victories. One match ended with no result.
Scotland hasn’t beaten Nepal since December 2022, when they last tasted victory in Namibia. Since then, Nepal has dominated the head-to-head record and looks to extend that streak in today’s key encounter.
After two wins in this series, Nepal sits 7th in the ICC Cricket World Cup League 2 points table with 10 points from 14 matches. A win today would further strengthen Nepal’s campaign and continue their unbeaten run in League 2.
