On the opening day of the tournament yesterday, Nepal escaped with a nervy five-wicket against Malaysia, a victory achieved in the final over. The Rohit Paudel-led side will look to shake off the early tournament rustiness when they meet world no. 28, Qatar.
In a low-scoring match, Paudel craftily utilised as many as eight bowlers to restrict Malaysia to 143/3 despite his opposite number Virandeep Singh scoring 72 off 57. Nepal, the top-ranked team in the competition and 17th in the world, played conservatively with the bat. Their top scorer was Aasif Sheikh. The wicketkeeper-opener scored 32 off 35. The Player of the Match honour, however, was taken by Dipendra Singh Airee, who scored 20 off 11.

Qatar also took the field on the opening day of the ACC Men's T20I Premier Cup 2024. After conceding 201/7, they managed 175/8, thus losing their Group A match against Hong Kong by 26 runs. Opener Saqlain Arshad top-scored for Qatar with a 34-ball 50.
Other teams in Group A are: Hong Kong, Malaysia and Saudi Arabia.
Nepal vs Qatar T20I head-to-head record
This will be the second meeting between the two sides in T20Is, and Qatar have earned the early bragging rights, courtesy of a four-wicket win during the ICC Men's T20 World Cup Asia Regional Finals in July 2019.
