Nepal is among the fastest-rising cricket nations in the world and recently defeated a formidable West Indies 'A' side in two T20s in a five match series at home.
At the upcoming T20 World Cup, Nepal would try to leave their mark with impactful performances at the big stage.
The side led by Rohit Paudel has been placed in Group D which many consider the toughest group in the tournament. Sri Lanka, South Africa, Bangladesh and Netherlands are alongside the mountain nation in the group.
Nepal play their first two games in Dallas and Lauderhill before leaving the United States of America (USA) to play their last couple of group matches in Kingstown in the Caribbean.
The Rhinos open their campaign on June 7 against the Netherlands in Dallas and then play Sri Lanka at Lauderhill on June 12. Nepal face their biggest test against South Africa on June 15 and just after a rest of one day, they take on Bangladesh in their last group game.
