UAEW vs NEPW Team Previews
United Arab Emirates Women
UAE finished 6th in the previous edition of the Asia Cup, managing to win only 1 of the 6 matches. However, the team has evolved quite a bit since then and put up an excellent performance during the recent ACC Women’s Premier Cup.
They not only earned an Asia Cup qualification through the tournament but finished as the Champions as well.
Era Oza and Teertha Sathish are likely to open the batting for the team in this match. Oza is in particularly good form this year and is the leading run-scorer for the team with 438 runs. However, the other batters haven’t been consistent and that could be a cause for concern. Kavisha Edogage and Kate Sharma will be the key batters in the middle order.
Kate Sharma has been struggling to perform for quite some time now. Also, the team lacks depth in its batting line-up. Coming to the bowling. UAE has a pretty strong spin attack at its disposal. Vaishnave Mahesh and Heena Hotchandani tend to bowl well in tandem during the middle overs and will be supported by Kavisha.
The pace attack is a bit thin with Samaira Dharnidharka being the only quality option.
United Arab Emirates Women Playing 11
Esha Oza, Theertha Satish, Rinitha Rajith, Kavisha Egodage, Samaira Dharnidharka, Khushi Sharma, Lavanya Keny, Vaishnave Mahesh, Indhuja Nandakumar, Heena Hotchandani, Rithika Rajith.
Nepal
Just like their opponents, Nepal too put up an excellent performance in the ACC Premier Cup to finish as the runner-up. In the process, the team also earned its 3rd consecutive appearance in the Asia Cup.
Rubina Chhetry and Sita Magar will be the key players for Nepal in this match. The duo is capable of playing some big shots and if one of them gets going, Nepal could be looking towards a big total. Also, the duo has picked up 15 wickets between them in the last 5 matches, and are likely to begin the attack with the new ball in this match as well.
However, the batting around them is pretty ordinary. Sita Magar will likely be joined by Kabita Kunwar as her opening partner, while skipper Indu Mahato and Pooja Mahato are likely to feature in the middle order.
While there are quite a few seamers on the team, the squad appears to be short when it comes to the slower bowlers.
Nepal Playing 11
Rubina Chhetry, Sita Magar, Indu Barma, Kabita Kunwar, Kabita Joshi, Puja Mahato, Bindu Rawal, Samjhana Khadka, Kajal Shrestha, Kritika Marasini, Sabnam Rai.

Pitch and Conditions
The pitch at Dambulla is one of the more difficult surfaces for the batters to play on. The pitch is likely to be dry and there will be variable bounce, often surprising the batters. There will be some patches of dry grass and some cracks which are likely to help the spinners. Anything over 150 will be challenging to chase.
The weather in Dambulla is likely to be warm and humid with temperatures of over 30 degrees.
