Nepal vs Scotland: Nepal is set to play against Scotland today in the ongoing tri-nation T20I series held in Glasgow. The match will begin at 7:45 PM Nepal time. This game marks Nepal’s first official T20 International (T20I) against Scotland, coming 12 years after their last T20 meeting.
The two teams last met in the T20 format during the 2013 T20 World Cup Qualifier, where Nepal lost to Scotland by 8 wickets. Some players like Michael Leask and Safyaan Sharif, who played back then, are still part of the Scottish squad. However, Richie Berrington, who played in the 2013 league, is not in the current T20 team.
This will be Nepal’s first T20I match against Scotland since gaining T20I status. Nepal lost their first match of the series to the Netherlands in a thrilling game decided by the third super over. The recent match also marked Nepal’s 100th T20I game. Kiran Thagunna and Rupesh K Singh made their T20I debuts in that game as the 50th and 51st players for Nepal in T20Is. Scotland won their opening match by defeating the Netherlands by 39 runs.
The game promises an exciting battle as Nepal seeks its first win of the series against a strong Scotland side. Both teams have key players who have experience in international cricket, and the match will be crucial for momentum in the tri-series.
