Team Previews
Nepal Preview
Nepal comes into this match with good form and confidence, having already secured a win over Kuwait in their previous T20I clash. With a balanced team of experienced campaigners and young talent, Nepal are strong contenders in the tournament.
The batting will be led by Kushal Bhurtel, Rohit Paudel, and Dipendra Singh Airee, all known for their consistency and explosive capabilities. Paudel, the captain, adds calmness and leadership at the top. Kushal Malla and Gulsan Jha bring finishing power in the lower middle order.
The bowling unit, featuring Sompal Kami, Karan KC, and Lalit Rajbanshi, gives Nepal a sharp edge. Rajbanshi’s spin can prove crucial in Mong Kok conditions. Overall, Nepal’s experience in ICC-level matches and better all-round depth make them formidable opponents.
Kuwait Preview
Kuwait enters this match as the underdogs but cannot be underestimated. Their batting lineup has firepower with players like Ravija Sandaruwan, Meet Bhavsar, and Bilal Tahir, who have proven themselves in Gulf regional cricket.
Their bowling attack will rely heavily on Mohamed Shafeeq, Muhammad Umar, and Ilyas Ahmed. Kuwait, however, needs to deliver more consistent team performances. Their fielding and middle-order stability remain areas of concern.
Having played fewer international matches than Nepal, Kuwait lacks big-match experience, but with a few early breakthroughs or strong top-order batting, they could pose a serious challenge.
