BAN vs NEP Match Preview
Bangladesh played their last game in the competition against the Netherlands. They defeated the Dutch and now require just a single victory to qualify for the last eight stages of the competition. Bangladesh batted first in their last game, and Tanzid Hasan provided a good beginning to the Bangla innings by scoring 35 runs from 26 balls with a strike rate of 134.62. However, the rest of the top order did not contribute much except Shakib Al Hasan. Shakib hit 64 runs from 46 deliveries in the Bangla middle order.
Mahmudullah also scored 25 runs from 21 balls with a strike rate of 119.05. As far as the bowling attack is concerned, the Bangla opening bowlers struggled to pick up wickets. They received their first breakthrough in their fifth over. Rishad Hossain bowled well, picking up three victims from four overs with a decent economy rate. The pacer Taskin Ahmed also picked up two wickets. Other bowlers, such as Tanzim Hasan Shakib, Mahmudullah, and Mustafizur Rahman, picked up a wicket apiece.
The Bangladesh counterparts in this game, Nepal, are currently in a challenging situation. They are the minnow in this World Cup and will be desperate to prove otherwise in this contest. Their batting order has struggled in recent matches and has failed to raise totals that can be winning scores. Rohit Paudel is leading the Nepal team. He expects constructive partnerships between himself, Aasif Sheikh, and Kushal Bhurtel. Dipendra Singh and Kushal Malla are expected to score some quick runs in the lower middle order towards the end of the innings.
Dipendra Singh has been in excellent touch this year, averaging 35.37 from his last twelve encounters, scoring 283 runs in them. Sompal Kami and Karan KC lead the Nepal bowling attack. In his previous fourteen T20I games, Karan KC has picked up eleven wickets with an economy rate of 8.45. Kami has also picked up seven victims from his last eleven fixtures this year. Another crucial spinner who will play this game is Sandeep Lamichchane. This would have bolstered the Nepal bowling attack.

Despite Nepal's good showing against South Africa, they are still pretty much novices to international T20 cricket.
