Nepal and the USA are set to face each other in a Group A match of the World Cup 2023 Qualifiers on Tuesday, June 20. The Takashinga Sports Club in Harare will host the contest.

Nepal, led by Rohit Paudel, looked quite promising in their match against Zimbabwe, especially in the batting department. After being put in to bat first, Nepal scored 290 for the loss of eight wickets in 20 overs.

Kushal Bhurtel looked brilliant with the bat but fell agonisingly short of a century. He scored 99 runs off 95 balls with 13 fours and two sixes before left-arm spinner Wellington Masakadza cleaned him up.

Aasif Sheikh and Kushal Malla also scored 66 and 41 runs, respectively. However, twin hundreds from Craig Ervine and Sean Williams meant that Zimbabwe tracked down the target with five overs to spare.

The USA, on the other hand, lost to West Indies by 39 runs in their previous game. But they will be delighted with Gajanand Singh, who scored his maiden ODI hundred and stayed not out on 101.

Head-to-Head

Nepal have the upper hand over the USA on the head-to-head count. But they are winless against the USA in their last three meetings.

Nepal Won – 3

USA Won – 2

Tied – 1
