Nepal vs Canada Predictions


Nepal gave the West Indies A a good fight in their 3-2 series loss, while Canada lost 4-0 to the USA. Nepal have a good batting line-up and they should have no trouble knocking Canada over. 

  • Nepal’s Rohit Paudel scored 265 runs (ave 132.50) in the recent T20 series against West Indies A.
  • Nepal’s Aasif Sheikh scored 51 off 35 balls in the win over the West Indies A.
  • Canada’s Aaron Johnson has scored 74 & 33 in his last 3 innings.
  • Canada’s Saad Bin Zafar has scored 29, 29* & 20* in his last 4 innings.

Head-to-Head


This will be the second T20I meeting between the two teams. Nepal won their first meeting in 2022 by eight wickets.

Nepal Form


In their last match, Nepal beat a strong West Indies A side by six wickets. Nepal lost the series 3-2.

West Indies A scored 172/7 off their 20 overs, Sagar Dhakal (3/17) and Sompal Kami (3/16) starring with the ball.

Aasif Sheikh (51 off 35 balls) and Anil Sah (58 off 45 balls, four fours, four sixes) added 96 for the second wicket to set up Kushal Malla (37* off 18 balls, three fours, three sixes) to take them to the win with seven balls in hand.

Nepal Team News


Nepal have batters and bowlers in good form but they are without their star bowler, Sandeep Lamichhane, who is struggling to get a visa to enter the USA.

Canada Form


Canada had a disappointing T20 series against the USA in April, losing the five-match series 4-0. 

In the final T20 of the series, Canada posted 168/5 off their 20 overs, Harsh Thaker top-scoring with 38 off 24 balls.

Saad Bin Zafar (2/21) helped reduce the USA to 9/3, but the hosts recovered to chase down the target with two balls to spare. 

Canada Team News


There are no injury reports from the Canada squad.

Verdict

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

Aaron Johnson is a good bet to top score for Canada.

Odds will be updated once released.
