RSA vs NEP Team Previews
South Africa
South Africa will be in high spirits after getting through some tough games. They will want to win more convincingly against Nepal.
South Africa have struggled to get going in the powerplay. Captain Aiden Markram will want to lift the weight off his middle order’s shoulders and provide the team with a strong start. He is also a decent player of spin which will be effective in the middle overs.
Kagiso Rabada is renowned for his pace, accuracy and wicket-taking ability. He will be key with the new ball and bowling at the death. He may have hit form at just the right time for South Africa in this T20 World Cup.
Anrich Nortje is one of the most feared fast bowlers in the world. The pace and bounce that he generates is a handful for even in the best in the world. He has become a key player for South Africa and in the Indian Premier League.

Nepal
Nepal missed out on an opportunity to play against their Asian rivals, Sri Lanka. Rain had the final say in a match that was abandoned.
Rohit Paudel was the only batter to have scored anything worth taking notice of in their game against the Netherlands. He scored almost a run-a-ball 35. Paudel will want better from the batters around him, but he has the ability to change the game by himself.
Sompal Kami has been a steady performer for Nepal with the ball. He will want to improve his T20I record and provide match-winning performances. The medium pacer will want to make sure he is economical if no wickets are on offer.
Dipendra Singh Airee is an exciting young all-rounder for Nepal. His adaptability to the situation will be of paramount importance for his side. Airee has started off his T20I career with a bang. He is averaging 37,83 striking at just over 145.
Nepal Playing 11
Kushal Bhurtel, Aasif Sheikh, Anil Sah, Rohit Paudel, Kushal Malla, Dipendra Singh Airee, Gulsan Jha, Sompal Kami, Karan KC, Sandeep Lamichhane, Abinash Bohara.
