Nepal and United Arab Emirates (UAE) will lock horns in the second and final T20I match between the two sides, to be played at the Tribhuvan University International Cricket Ground, Kirtipur on Tuesday, April 21. UAE come into this game on the back of a six-wicket win in the 1st T20I via DLS method.
In the first T20I, Nepal batted first but their batting order failed to live up to the expectations. The top-order collapse had them reeling at 63/4 before a rescue act led by their captain Dipendra Singh Airee (32).
Nepal ended up with a meagre total of 1228 in 18.5 overs with rain playing spoilsport in Kirtipur. UAE were set a target of 78 to chase in 10-over match.
The visitors did lose couple of wickets in the run-chase but skipper Muhammad Waseem (33) and lower-order ensured that UAE reached the total in 8.5 overs.
The match will be played out at Tribhuvan University International Cricket Ground. The venue has 64 T20I matches so far with 35 wins going in favour of teams batting first to 27 victories falling in favour of teams chasing down the target.
