Nepal Vs Oman Toss Update, ICC CWC League 2: NEP Chose To Bat First – Check Playing XIs

Nepal face Oman in a crucial ICC Cricket World Cup League 2 clash on May 5, 2026, at the Tribhuvan University International Cricket Ground in Kirtipur, Kathmandu. With both sides pushing for valuable points in the 2023–27 cycle, the encounter carries major implications for their qualification hopes.

Oman head into the contest in strong position, sitting third on the table with 31 points from 27 matches, including 14 wins.

Nepal are under pressure in seventh place with 16 points from 23 games and just seven victories so far, making consistency their biggest concern at this stage of the campaign.

Their recent meeting on April 29, 2026, also went Oman’s way, as Jatinder Singh’s superb 130 guided them to a commanding 102-run win.

Nepal will be banking on key performers like Sandeep Lamichhane and Gulshan Jha to respond in a must-win situation at home.

The Kirtipur surface is expected to offer a fair balance between bat and ball, with early movement likely assisting pacers such as Karan KC and Oman’s Shakeel Ahmad.

With their campaign under real pressure, Nepal will need a strong all-round display to stay alive in the race for ODI World Cup qualification.
