Oman vs Nepal Predictions

Oman have performed better than Nepal so far in the League, but it looks like Nepal’s star Sandeep Lamichhane is hitting top form, and he is a match-winner supreme.

Nepal’s Rohit Paudel averages 29.55 in ODIs, with one century and 10 fifties from his 61 innings.
Nepal’s Sandeep Lamichhane top-scored with 49 off 48 balls against Canada.
Oman’s Aqib Ilyas has scored 39, 68 & 29 in his last 5 innings.
Oman’s Zeeshan Maqsood has scored 40*, 51 & 27 in his last 5 innings.

Head-to-Head

Nepal have won three of the last five matches between the teams, with Oman winning two of those matches.

Oman Form

After winning two matches on the bounce, Oman suffered a 59-run loss to Canada.

Canada piled up 276/8 off their 50 overs, despite superb bowling from Kaleemullah (2/31, econ 3.10).

Oman’s chase fell apart early as they were reduced to 17/4 before a lower-middle order revival saw them recover to reach 217 before they were bowled out after 46 overs. Fayyaz Butt top-scored with 44 from 52 balls.

Oman Team News

Oman should be in good spirits after their two recent wins, although they would have received a serious reality check after their heavy loss to Canada.

Nepal Form

Nepal suffered their fifth loss in a row when they also lost heavily to Canada.

Nepal batted first and found themselves in tatters at 36/5 after 12 overs. Sandeep Lamichhane (49 off 48 balls) lead a tail-end revival that saw Nepal save some face by reaching 181 before being bowled out in the 47th over.

Sandeep Lamichhane (2/42, econ 4.20) was once again the pick of the Nepal bowlers, but the target set for Canada was too low and they rolled home easily to win by five wickets and with a full eight overs to spare.

Nepal Team News

Nepal will be hoping their batters start playing to their potential as a group to backup their strong bowling unit.

Verdict

Oman v Nepal

I am backing Nepal to win. I am also backing Rohit Paudel to top score for Nepal.

Aqib Ilyas is a good bet to top score for Oman.
