Nepal vs UAE Match Prediction: Who starts as favourite?
After being bowled out for just 49 in their most recent game, the UAE are in a precarious position. Despite their own problems, Nepal appears to be a more balanced team with better spin options, although their batting has frequently folded under duress. Although Nepal started as favorites to win important points today, the UAE did defeat Nepal in their previous encounter, giving some hope.
Nepal has previously demonstrated exceptional performance under duress. But winning every year under duress isn’t seen as a strategic objective. “Winning 11 out of 12 is not always doable. Cricket is a performance-based sport. The team is undoubtedly in danger, even though the situation is not dire, according to Das.
Nepal will play a home League-2 triangular series the following year in an effort to remedy the situation. These series will consist of nearly eight games. Because the team will have the support of the home crowd, Das feels there is potential for a victory. But the most recent League-2 performance was not particularly enjoyable. Nepal lost to the Netherlands by eight wickets and Namibia by four and two wickets.
However, there is virtually little chance of not making mistakes at a high level of competition. Nepal didn’t play poorly; rather, their blunders have led to the current predicament. Now, winning is the only way to make things better,” he says.
Nepal is referred to as a “Fighter” team in cricket. Now is the moment to demonstrate this once more. The task for the next games is not just to score points but also to regain confidence.
