NEP vs NED Team Previews

Nepal

Nepal come into this match with a well-rounded squad, combining experience and youth. Openers Kushal Bhurtel and Aasif Sheikh will aim to give a solid start, while Rohit Paudel, Dipendra Singh Airee, and Anil Sah form a strong middle order.

One of Nepal’s biggest strengths lies in the versatility of their all-rounders — Dipendra Singh Airee and Anil Sah can both contribute with bat and ball, offering valuable balance. The batting lineup, however, has at times struggled against disciplined seam attacks, and early wickets could expose some vulnerability in the lower order.

The bowling department looks potent with leg-spinner Sandeep Lamichhane leading the attack, supported ably by Karan KC, Sompal Kami, Lalit Rajbanshi, and Gulsan Jha. Nepal’s bowling attack is their key weapon — Sandeep’s variations in the middle overs can be game-changing, while Karan KC and Sompal Kami offer experience with the new ball.

However, if the surface flattens out or if the opposition plays spin well, Nepal’s attack can sometimes struggle to break partnerships in the death overs.

Netherlands

The Netherlands will be looking to bounce back after a disappointing batting display in their opener. Michael Levitt and Zach Lion Cachet looked promising but lacked support from the middle order. Skipper Scott Edwards will have to anchor the innings while the likes of Nidamanuru and Croes need to step up.

The Dutch top-order possesses firepower, but their over-reliance on a few key batters remains a concern. If the middle order fails again under pressure, Netherlands could find themselves unable to post or chase a competitive total. In the bowling department, Aryan Dutt and Zach Lion Cachet were among the wicket-takers, but the entire attack will need to be more consistent against Nepal’s balanced batting.

Paul van Meekeren brings experience with his death bowling, while Kyle Klein has shown flashes of promise. However, the lack of a quality frontline spinner might hurt them on surfaces that assist turn, and their fielding standards will also need to improve after a few costly errors against Scotland.

Netherlands Expected Playing 11

Michael Levitt, Max O'Dowd, Scott Edwards (c & wk), Teja Nidamanuru, Noah Croes, Zach Lion Cachet, Roelof van der Merwe, Aryan Dutt, Kyle Klein, Saqib Zulfiqar, Paul van Meekeren
