World Cup Qualifiers 2023,7th Place Playoff Semi Final-2, Nepal vs UAE Probable XIs, Prediction, Pitch Report, Weather Forecast, Streaming Details
Nepal will take on UAE in the 7th Place Playoff Semi-Final on Sunday, 02 July 2023 at 12:30 PM IST.
Nepal's performance in their last encounter against the Netherlands was disappointing, resulting in a one-sided affair. While the pitch provided challenges, Max O'Dowd of the opposing team excelled, conversely Nepal's opening batter Vikramajit Singh struggled.
The Netherlands bowlers, inclusive of van Beek, de Leede, Singh, Dutt, and Floyd, put on a commendable effort. Unfortunately, Nepal's marketing campaign to qualify for the 2023 ODI World Cup got to a stop with this dismal defeat. Their batting let them down, leaving their bowlers with little to shield in Harare.
On the other hand, UAE's overall performance in their last game was underwhelming as they fell short of a tough goal. Waseem contributed 45, Hameed added 39, and Sanchit made 44, but they could not construct giant partnerships.
Barry McCarthy's beginning spell confined their momentum, and Andy McBrine, Josh Little, and George Dockrell continued to take periodic wickets. UAE's campaign in the match ended without a victory, leaving them at the bottom of the desk.
This match will be a saving grace for both teams, as they look to take back some positives from an otherwise letdown campaign for both nations!
