Pre-Match Analysis:
Nepal are on a role at the moment, scripting 4 wins on the trot in the competition to finish as the Group A winners. Three of their 4 wins have come via chasing and want to repeat the same process in the high profile Semi-Final clash against UAE. They wind the league stages with a 6-wicket win over Saudi Arabia in the reduced 7 overs aside contest. Middle-order batter Gulsan Jha nailed the show with a brilliant 32* runs to guide the side home along with the company of skipper Rohit Kumar Paudel who made 16* runs from 7 deliveries. Right-arm Seamer Abinash Bohara is their best bowler in the tournament with 7 scalps. They hold a better advantage over UAE as they won 3 of their last 4 head to head matches.
UAE has to pull up their socks if they want to overcome in-form Nepal who are unbeaten in the tournament. They started in a great fashion with back-to-back wins over Kuwait and Bahrain but suffered a setback with a 9 wickets loss over Oman before finishing their league campaign with a facile 9 wickets win over minnows Cambodia. Their batting is entirely dependent on trio Waseem Muhammad, Alishan Sharafu, and Asif Khan 558 between them this tournament. Their middle order hasn’t been exposed and will tested if their top order didn’t in the knockouts. Aayan Afzal Khan is their best bowler with 7 scalps in 4 matches.
