Nepal aims to leverage home advantage against Oman in their upcoming ICC CWC League 2 match on April 29, 2026, at the Tribhuvan University International Cricket Ground. The stakes are high as both teams look to solidify their standings.
Oman currently sits third on the ICC CWC League 2 points table, boasting 13 wins and 9 losses. Their star player, Jatinder Singh, leads the way with 620 runs, while Shakeel Ahmad has been a force with the ball, claiming 44 wickets.
Nepal finds itself in a more precarious position, sitting seventh with just 6 wins and 13 losses. Aarif Sheikh stands out as their top run scorer, having amassed 478 runs, and Sandeep Lamichhane leads their bowling attack with 25 wickets. However, they recently secured a victory against UAE by 37 runs, which could boost their confidence.
