Nepal vs Netherlands Preview
The host team Nepal is all set to take on the Netherlands in the opening match of the tournament. Last year, Netherlands was not seen in any of the international matches or series and this will be their first time after a long one year gap that they will be playing against international team. This will be a crucial match for them and everyone must be looking forward to their performance after a long gap. Meanwhile, Nepal also don’t know about current situation or condition of their opponent as Netherlands didn’t performed in any international series last year. So, Nepal will try to uncover their current form so that they can make planning for the series accordingly.
Key Players & Winner Prediction
The skilled players like Gyanendra Malla and Sandeep Lamichhane will be the key players from the team Nepal in this new tournament. On the other hand, Ben Cooper and Pieter Seelaar are the talented players from the team Netherlands who are worth considering for this upcoming match. Overall, NED is ranked at the 17th spot in the T20 rankings while Nepal is at the 15th position in the same standings. Team NEP is a little strong than Netherlands when it comes to T20 matches tournaments. Also, they are the host team of this series which will obviously advantage them in the upcoming match. In addition, NED didn’t played against any international team since last year so this may come out as their disadvantage. Overall, the winning odds are going with Nepal, so they might be the one that will win 1st T20I of this series.
