October 12, 2025

 

Kathmandu – Nepal has chosen to bat first after winning the toss against the United Arab Emirates (UAE) in their first Super Six match of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup Asia and East Asia-Pacific Qualifier.

The match is being held at the Al Amerat Cricket Ground in Oman and started at 4:15 PM Nepali time.

This high-stakes encounter has been labeled the “El Clasico” of associate cricket by the Cricket Association of Nepal (CAN), as Nepal takes on a familiar and competitive rival in UAE.

Both teams have recently defeated Test-playing nations, making this more than just a match for two points — it is also a battle for confidence and momentum on the road to World Cup qualification.
